Eric Bartsch at Chanute Consulting Group recently completed a temporary executive leadership role with GreenWing International (GWI) / Yuneec to lead their manned electric aviation program in the US as it transformed from an R&D project into a refined aircraft design, ready to be displayed to the public. Eric had the privilege of working with and leading an outstanding team of aviation professionals around the world on this amazing project.
These innovative planes went through substantial modifications and improvements during the middle of 2013 to be ready for their appearance at AirVenture 2013, the largest airshow in the world. GWI’s eSpyder was the first electric aircraft in the world to be featured in a multi-plane formation demo team. The two planes at the show made a total of 12 flights in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators who saw the planes, but couldn’t hear them as they flew overhead silently. The development of the eSpyder is a major step forward in the development of electric flight and the future of the aerospace industry.
GWI is the leading program in manned electric flight, and Plane & Pilot magazine’s November 2013 issue covers the revolutionary experience of flying one of these innovative, clean, quiet electric planes.

Over the last 6 months, CCG has been working with Yuneec to form GreenWing International (GWI), a company dedicated to bringing Yuneec’s electric aviation projects to market. Acting as a temporary member of the executive team, and serving in roles spanning COO and GM responsibilities, Eric Bartsch of CCG has helped create the new business in this emerging and highly-innovative industry.
The recent AirVenture show provided a platform to announce the formation of the new company and to launch its first product, the single-seat eSpyder, into the market. The customer and media interest in the program has been overwhelming and CCG is excited to have played a role in the formation of the electric aviation industry.
