Can't wait for the drones at TC to want to please the dear leader pressing them to certify this quickly for a selfie.
I figure something like this will be the first really commercially viable "electric airplane" You can't do it on battery alone, always thought have a turbine charging batteries or supplying power to some electric fans would be the way to go....The ES-30 is a 30-seat regional aircraft designed to run on a combination of batteries and reserve hybrid turbogenerators capable of using 100% SAF. On all electric power, it can fly for 200 km (125 miles) with current battery technology. Using hybrid power, this extends to 400 km (250 miles), and in a low-density configuration, it is proposed to be capable of reaching up to 800 km (500 miles).
