In the foreground is the Cri-Cri, an all-electric plane developed by EADS Innovation Works, Aero Composites Saintonge, and the Green Cri-Cri Association. It is "the first-ever four-engined all-electric aerobatic plane," and includes lightweight a composite structure, four brushless electric motors that produce no carbon dioxide emissions, and low noise. It can fly 30 minutes at 120 kilometers an hour, and during aerobatic performance, can fly 15 minutes at 250 kilometers an hour.

In the background is the Airbus A380, the world's-largest passenger aircraft.
