- CHET FULLER (Voiceover):
- Once again this year we’re at Oshkosh. It’s the largest air show in the world, the largest fly in of aircraft in the world, and a phenomenal event for innovation and technology.
Shot of Steve Melton, CF34 Engine Systems Flight Test, GE Aviation.
- STEVE MELTON (Voiceover):
- Our eyes are always wide open at GE looking for the best ideas that have the most promise, and Oshkosh is like a garden growing ideas.

- CHET FULLER (Voiceover):
- There’s a tremendous emphasis now being placed on more electric or electrification of personal aircraft.
Montage of glider with electric components preparing for flight; propeller on glider spinning. Shot of Mike Kobylik, President and Partner, ElectroAir.
- MIKE KOBYLIK (Voiceover):
- We have greenhouse and carbon footprint issues that we need to be considering. There are very real economic issues that we need to be considering.
Shot of plane with “… it’s ElectriFlying” on side. Shot of Clive Coote, Managing Director, Yuneec.
- CLIVE COOTE (Voiceover):
- Electric is clean, it’s quiet, and it’s efficient, and it’s also very cost effective for aviation.
Shot of building sign, “Flight Line Operations.” Shot of air operator reading from clipboard.
- AIR OPERATIONS (Voiceover):
- Okay. Runways in use today: Runway 27 and 36 right and left are open up again.
Shot of flying glider; shot of Dave Nadler, entrepreneur and pilot.
