At the Sustainable Aviation Symposium, AVweb spoke with Pipistrel's modest Director of Research and Development, Tine Tomažič. Dr. Tomažič received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Ljubljana and has been with Pipistrel for 16 years as an intern, test pilot and engineer. We spoke with Tine about what electric aircraft can (and can't) do, Pipistrel's fast four-seater, the Pathera, and the most scared he's ever been in an airplane. Listen to our interview below.
