DENVER, Colorado – April 29, 2010 – Bye Energy, Inc. will showcase its electric and electric-hybrid propulsion system (EHPS) concept intended for commercial general aviation, titled “The Green Flight Project,” at the “Wings for Our World” expo presented by Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum and The Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation. The event will take place from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. May 8 at International Jet Aviation at Centennial Airport, 8511 Aviator Lane, in Centennial, Colo.

The expo, which is free to the public and geared toward families with children, will feature exhibits that generate a greater understanding of how aviation can sustain the important balances between man, wildlife, energy and the environment.

The afternoon expo will be followed by an evening dinner and auction beginning at 6 p.m. where The Green Flight Project will also be displayed. For tickets and additional information, call (303) 360-5360 ext. 110.

George Bye, President and CEO of Bye Energy, thanked the presenters of the expo for being generous promoters of clean energy for general aviation. “On behalf of The Green Flight Project, we are particularly grateful for the support we have received from the Lindbergh Foundation and Wings Over the Rockies,” he said.

“The innovation and technology of the emerging era of electric-powered aircraft will be a major part of aviation’s future,” Lindbergh Foundation Chairman and President, Larry E. Williams, added. ‘We are pleased to support forums and events to showcase solutions.”

“As Colorado’s official Air and Space Museum, Wings Over the Rockies is proud to work with The Green Flight Project team on a leading-edge research project that advances our educational mission and brings together leadership from Colorado’s renowned aviation and energy sectors,” said Greg Anderson, President and CEO of Wings Over the Rockies.

Bye Energy, an integrator of alternative energy and renewable fuel technologies for business and general aviation aircraft, launched The Green Flight Project earlier this year to design and integrate an EHPS into a full-scale proof of concept airplane. Ultimate system architecture will include an electric motor and controller, lithium-ion battery and management system, electric energy management system, auxiliary power unit, thin film photovoltaic cells, variable pitch propeller and proprietary energy capture devices exclusive to the company.
