The integral E is aerobatic and built for UPRT and aeros market. Recharges in <20 mins and has a 75 min endurance. Aerobatic and UPRT sorties tend to be 30 mins or so with a significant amount of debriefing, they are also flown in nice weather, so that would work from my pov. Oh, and it doesn’t look like it’s been rear-ended by a truck like the Swift!
The eFlyer 2 is a cruiser and built for long range 120-135kts cruising.
As for buying British - yep, I own all sorts of innovative British designs and I’m hugely proud of them. I wouldn’t feel like that if I owned a Swift (having aircraft of my own, then I feel far prouder to own those). Seeing as the Integral E is French, then I will use a French adage “
Nous sommes nos choix” - we are what we we choose - and I’m certainly not a Swift!
