that's pretty epic

Always take what you read with a huge grain of salt.
From the opening paragraph:

Didier Esteyne and EADS turned heads at the 2011 Paris Air Show when they debuted the the world's first all-electric airplane, the single-seat Cri-Cri.

There were electric powered man carrying aircraft flying in the 70's, so they are only off by about 40 years.

Also, the hyper-funky music is a dead giveaway of an amateur operation.

That hardly looks very much like an amateur effort.
It's beautiful!
It's using modern technology.

Practical full size electric is getting really close.

Wow tough crowd..

I like it.

Clever idea to use the single motor to belt drive the main gear and save batts for flying.

It does look fragile in the video but as we know it's better to build it light enough to fly rather than so heavy it will crash.
