Solair I and Solair II are two German-designed electric aircraft.

Solair 1

The human piloted Solair I was developed from 1980 by Günther Rochelt - developer of the Musculair human-powered aircraft series - based on a Hans Farner canard design.[1][2] It employed 2499 wing-mounted solar cells giving an output of between 1.8 kilowatts (kW), equivalent to approximately 2.4 horsepower (hp), and {{convert|2.2|kW|hp|1|abbr=on}}. The aircraft first flew at Unterwössen, Germany on 21 August 1983.[1] It flew for 5 hours and 41 minutes, "mostly on solar energy and also thermals".[1] The aircraft is now displayed at the German Museum in Munich.[2] The newly developed piloted Solair II made its first flight in May 1998 and further test flights that summer but the propulsion system overheated too fast.[2] Development stopped when Günther Rochelt suddenly died in September 1998.

Solair II

The Solair II project began in 1996, and aimed to develop a higher-powered successor aircraft. Modelled on glider construction, the aircraft has a V-tail tail, and fin headed on each propeller for propulsion. The aircraft was manufactured in half-shells sandwich construction with honeycomb cores. With charged batteries, it required an input of 755 W power for the straight flight.
