At Airventure 24 I walked up to the MagniX people and asked how long it took to fly the display Beavers to Oshkosh. They looked at me like I was a ‘Martian’ and said, “We took them apart and trucked them here.” Then I asked how much the battery weighed. Their answer, “6000 pounds.” I rest my case! (Sigh!)
NASA needs to be put on financial diet ! They’re wasting money on this nutty electrification of airplanes idea!
