How are Electric aircraft progressing ?
Hi Everyone,
With the recent thread on operating costs of a light single , I was left wondering about how our electric aircraft are developing?
would anyone have any updates to the thread?
I would imaging operating costs to be significantly cheaper (I have been wrong before) when we subtract the fuel , oil , hydraulic and air systems required.
1 or 2 more questions :
how has battery energy density increased since the old lithium based batteries ?
and do you foresee future light aircraft being more of a drone style multi-prop than a regular fixed wing ?
I'm merely curious as to how technology has moved on since we last spoke about this. One or two friends of mine have fully electric cars and would never look back at a 'smoker' car again.
All thoughts and opinions welcome,
Thanks,
Fionn
