The Eco-Eagle started out as a Stemme S10 motorglider, refitted with Rotax that's augmented with a belt-driven electric motor. The 100-hp Rotax 912 burning biofuel is assisted by a 40-hp electric motor and lithium polymer batteries. A true hybrid, the internal combustion engine is used to supply electric power for either running the motor or charging the batteries.
