Eevo Boscaról), born 15 April 1956, is the founder and CEO of Pipistrel, a producer of ultralight and light aircraft, based in Ajdovščina, Slovenia. Boscarol is most known as an aircraft designer and entrepreneur. [1]Early careerBoscarol was born in 1956 in Postojna, Slovenia, at the time also part of Yugoslavia. His father Augusto Boscarol, a machine engineer, spent several young years as a test pilot at the Aermacchi, an Italian aircraft manufacturer. [2]Family lived in Ajdovščina, a town in western Slovenia near which a small military airfield was located. [3]After elementary and high school in Ajdovščina Boscarol studied economy at the University of Ljubljana. From 1976 to 1986 he was involved in publishing, owned a studio, in photography (official photographer at the Šentjakobsko gledališče theatre in Ljubljana 1976 - 1980), was an advertising manager of the student radio station inLjubljana (1976 - 1978), a manager of several musicians and rock bands. [4][2]Boscarol also organized several art photo exhibitions, including nudes. [5]He introduced the badge concept and mass production to Yugoslavia, at the time unfamiliar in the country. [6][2]PipistrelIn the eighties of the past century the era of hang gliding and powered hang gliding arrived and Boscarol, though flying private aircraft of any kind was not legal, started an own private business, Boscarol studio, a small-scale production of motorized hang gliders, mainly for customers in the neighboring Italy.[3][2][7] He had to test his prototypes, first hang gliders, later ultra-lightairplanes, and to avoid too much attention he flew between dusk and darkness. The flying times and shape of the wings earned the aircraft the nickname "pipistrel", a word locals use in dialect for bat.[8] It is derived from Latin Pipistrellus, the locals got it from the Italian pipistrello. Boscarol used the word to name his new company, Pipistrel. After a struggling first decade the markets began to open up following the exhibition of Pipistrel Sinus ultra-light aircraft at the 1995 AERO Friedrichshafen European general aviation trade show.[1] Commitment to light designs and fuel efficiency, possible especially in the category of motor gliders paved the way to wide recognition of the company and his ideas.[9] Most visible was the successful participation at several NASA Centennial Challenges, prize contests aimed at engaging the public at large to help advance the aeronautic and space technologies. It began with the 2007 NASA Personal Air Vehicle (PAV) Challenge competition (Pipistrel Virus)[10] and was followed in 2008, when the event was renamed to NASA General Aviation Technology Challenge (GAT).[11] The most important of all was the participation at the Google-sponsored 2011 NASA Green Flight Challenge (GFC) competition with a $1,350.000 main prize, the largest in aviation history.[12] Competition rules asked for an aviation breakthrough. The competing aircraft were required to fly 200 miles in less than two hours; reach an average speed of at least 100 mph; take off at a distance of less than 2,000 feet to clear a 50-foot obstacle; deliver a decibel rating of less than 78 dBA at full-power takeoff while using less than one gallon of gasoline per occupant. [13]10 planes entered the competition, 3 of them actually flew and only 2 met the above requirements.The contest-winning Taurus G4 electric plane was of an unconventional design, with two fuselages and a large (200 horsepower) motor in between. Such a design was required to accommodate the over 75 kilowatt-hours of lithium-ion polymer batteries, nearly half the weight of a 2,350 pound plane.[14] The development of this aircraft, led by Tine Tomazic, 5 months from concept to production was achieved using high performance computing (HPC) technologies including computational fluid dynamics. It won the 2014 HPC Innovation Excellence Award.[15] References1. ^1 {{citation |title= Hidden Champions in CEE and Dynamically Changing Environments 2011 / Research Report |publisher= Alexandru Ionuţ Pohonţu |editor-last = Purg |editor-first = Danica |editor2-last = Rant |editor2-first = Melita |chapter= Slovenia |first= Melita |last= Rant |author-link= Melita Rant |location=Bled, Slovenia |date=November 2011 |page= 101 |url=https://www.scribd.com/doc/231336425/Hidden-Champions-Research-Report-2011 |accessdate=2 July 2014}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{citation |first= Tadej |last= Golob |author-link= Tadej Golob |title= Ivo Boscarol |journal= Playboy |location=Slovenia |date=June 2007 |pages= 45–54 |url=http://www.playboy.si/branje/intervju/ivo-boscarol/ |accessdate=2 July 2014}} 3. ^1 {{citation |first= James |last= Lawrence |author-link= James Lawrence |title= Light-Sport Chronicles: Profiles In Vision: Ivo Boscarol |journal= Plane & Pilot |location=Los Angeles, CA |date=January 2012 |url=http://www.planeandpilotmag.com/pilot-talk/more-pilot-talk/light-sport-chronicles-profiles-in-vision-ivo-boscarol.html |accessdate=1 July 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web |title= Ivo Boscarol |work= Co-operative Online Bibliographic System & Services |location= Maribor, Slovenia |url=http://www.cobiss.si/scripts/cobiss?command=SEARCH&base=COBIB&lani=en&select=boscarol+AND+ivo |accessdate= 2 July 2014}} 5. ^{{citation |first= Nataša |last= Bolarič |author-link= Nataša Bolarič |title= The History-Making Bat |journal= The Slovenia Times |location=Slovenia |date=June 2005 |url=http://www.sloveniatimes.com/the-history-making-bat |accessdate=1 July 2014}} 6. ^{{cite |first= Tadeja |last= Ozebek |author-link= Tadeja Ozebek |title= Ivo Boscarol: "Zelo sem srečen sam v sebi" |journal= Goriška |date= March 2012 |location= Koper, Slovenia |url=http://www.tadejaozebek.si/2012/04/ivo-boscarol-zelo-srecen-sam-v-sebi/ |accessdate= 2 July 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web |title= Ambassador's Visit to Pipistrel |location= Ljubljana, Slovenia |url= http://slovenia.usembassy.gov/pipistrel.html |accessdate= 1 July 2014}} 8. ^{{citation |title= Boscarol Slovenian Batman |journal= Revolve Magazine |location=Belgium |date=2011 |page= 55 |volume= 2 |url=http://issuu.com/revolve-magazine/docs/revolve-summer-2011 |accessdate=1 July 2014}} 9. ^{{citation |first= James |last= Lawrence |author-link= James Lawrence |title= Prius With Wings |journal= Plane & Pilot |location=Los Angeles, CA |date=7 May 2013 |url= http://www.planeandpilotmag.com/aircraft/pilot-reports/pipistrel/prius-with-wings.html#.U7VmlW34L0g |accessdate= 3 July 2014}} 10. ^{{cite news|url=http://spirit.eaa.org/news/2007/2007-08-15_pav.asp |title= Pipistrel Virus The Big Winner At PAV Challenge |date= 15 August 2007 |work= Experimental Aircraft Association News |accessdate= 3 July 2014}} 11. ^{{cite news |title = Pipistrel Team Again the Big Winner in NASA GA Technology Challenge |date = 2008-08-13 |work = Experimental Aircraft Association News |url = http://www.eaa.org/news/2008/2008-08-13_challenge.asp |accessdate = 2011-10-14 |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20111006053834/http://www.eaa.org/news/2008/2008-08-13_challenge.asp |archivedate = 2011-10-06|df = }} 12. ^{{cite web |first= Eric |last= Loveday |author-link= Eric Loveday |title= Google sponsors $1.65 million NASA Green Flight Challenge |date= 2 August 2011 |work= AutoblogGreen |location= USA |url= http://green.autoblog.com/2011/08/02/google-sponsors-1-65-million-nasa-green-flight-challenge/ |accessdate= 3 July 2014}} 13. ^{{cite web|title= 2011 CAFE GREEN FLIGHT CHALLENGE|date= 28 July 2009|publisher= CAFE / Comparative Aircraft Flight Efficiency Foundation|location= Santa Rosa, CA|url=http://cafefoundation.org/v2/pdf_GFC/GFC.TA.07.28.09.pdf|accessdate= 2 July 2014}} 14. ^{{cite web|first= Jason |last= Paur |author-link= Jason Paur|date=8 August 2011|title=Electric Airplane Has 4 Seats, Two Fuselages, One Big Motor|url=https://www.wired.com/autopia/2011/08/pipistrel-taurus-g4-electric/|work=Wired|accessdate= 3 July 2014}} 15. ^{{cite web |title= IDC Announces New Winners of HPC Innovation Excellence Awards |date= 24 June 2014 |publisher= IDC / International Data Corporation |location= Framingham, MA |url=http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS24953814|accessdate= 2 July 2014}} External References
