Range 300 km.  ??? Oh yes, I totally believe them. Fantastic! 

I'm naive enough to hope it's true. I also hope it can carry 600kgs of passengers and luggage.

That is the Achilles heal of electric planes, you need to pack around huge batteries to make them any kinds of useful.


Fun toy

What part makes this thing a jet?

The fans are in tubes. Totally jets, according to those guys.

Im going to start offering Tube Fan ratings, any takers?

Is there a bond?

Ya of course there is a bond.
However if you work two years on the ramp I'll reduce it to 20k
