THE AIRCRAFT

Meet DG Aviation DG-1001E

The DG-1000 first flew in 2000. Its long wings and T-tail surround a two-seat cockpit, with developments offering different spans and launch arrangements. The DG-1001 continued the line with further refinements.

The DG-1001E adds a Front Electric Sustainer: a nose-mounted electric motor with folding propeller blades. DG describes it as a way to continue a soaring flight when lift becomes scarce. Sustainer capability should not be confused with self-launching. Motor controls and battery indications are consequently important details of the represented aircraft.
