In September 1973 the Liverpool Echo covered a story about a man who was building an aircraft to be powered by a form of electric motor. Jan Jaskiewicz was the designer and builder, although at the time he was employing two women to do the fabric work for him. He had leased an old school for his workshop in Great Homer Street, Liverpool, UK.
The aircraft was of tubular steel construction and employed a large amount of glass-fibre areas. Empty weight was quoted at 300 lb. At that time a professional-looking fuselage had been completed and the wings were about to be worked on. The exact nature of the engine, which the designer referred to as a battery engine”, was not revealed.
