I love following the progress on this project. Had this project started 20 years ago there’s no telling where aviation would be today. I know there will be nay-sayers, but those were the same people who said that the horseless carriage would never replace horse and buggies 120 years ago. Had we listened to those folk in the 1960s we would never had landed a man on the moon. One day we will have the battery technology to keep an electric aircraft in the air for 20 hours. It’s great to see that the R&D on electric aircraft is starting to really take off.
Just imagine if our GA aircraft were electric. No more dealing with expensive smelly leaded avgas, no more oil changes, no more spark plug maintenance, no concerns about keeping CHT in check, being able to hit the flight levels without turbos, the end of the ROP/LOP debate, etc. (the list goes on and on). Not to mention how much quieter it would be in the cockpit.
