Ho-Hummm–another "electric airplane–“just around the corner.”
I fly gliders, and we host Regional and National glider competitions. Electric self-launch gliders have been around since 2007–15 years ago.
Here’s a pilot report from AvWeb/Aviation Consumer’s own Larry Anglisano from 3 years ago on Pipestrel’s single-place glider (much easier to “electrify”'than a heavier two-place). https://www.aviationconsumer.com/industry-news/editorial/friends-dont-let-friends-fly-electric-gliders/
Note the title. Nothing has changed in the interim.
When even a sleek, light-weight, low-drag, high-aspect ratio, no touch & goes aircraft like a single place glider can’t cut it after 15 years, I’d have to say that “just around the corner” for electric-powered aircraft is not reasonable expectations.
