You are that blinded by by your climate change hysteria you can't even recognise when what you are promoting is garbage. I will ask the question again that you like to avoid, what is it you do for a living?
Give them some credit, that was almost their first ever flight and they were being ultra-careful with range, as you would be. Solar panels on the flying school and a large battery onsite means it’s heading towards carbon neutral territory ongoing. It’s a moot point though as manufacturing the aircraft in the first place is far from neutral, however the Pipistrel factory is ultra-modern and is fully solar for power.
It’s just the start...
