The aircraft became the model developed by engineers at the Slovenian 2010 year, thus, the basis has been taken of the aircraft model Pipistrel Virus, which has undergone a series of small design changes, but at the same time in technical terms has changed radically.

Aircraft Pipistrel WATTsUP designed exclusively for private use, but, ultimately, because of its high reliability, the aircraft began to be applied and the air flying school as a means suitable for training future pilots.

Due to the fact that the Pipistrel WATTsUP aircraft entered serial production only in the second half of 2014, it is impossible to assess the real demand for it at the moment, however, experts point out the fact that, thanks to the rather promising flight performance characteristics, simple service and maintenance , high reliability and rather low cost, the project will be no less popular than the ultra-light aircraft Pipistrel Sinus and Pipistrel Virus.

The Pipistrel WATTsUP cockpit is roughly the same size as the Pipistrel Virus and, as before, is designed to accommodate two people. The dashboard of the aircraft and the general design inside the aircraft cockpit have been further modified in accordance with the systems and controls of the aircraft, however, there is still a luggage compartment in the rear of the cockpit allowing the aircraft to take on board a small amount of personal items. In addition, thanks to the dual control levers, the Pipistrel WATTsUP is ideal for training flights.

Power plant Pipistrel WATTsUP consists of a single electric motor Siemens AG powered by batteries, and able to develop traction in 67 hp Due to a rather low-power powerplant, the aircraft has a number of restrictions on the speed of movement, in particular, the maximum figure is about 195 km / h, while the cruising speed is set at the level of 157 km / h. In addition, since the capacity of the batteries used here is very limited, the aircraft can only cover distances up to 225 kilometers, which is currently very small, but, according to experts, Pipistrel will soon develop more advanced modifications capable of overcoming The distance to 400-450 kilometers.
