Now Pipistrel announced their new Panthera - what a looker! It will be delivered in three different versions:
IO-390
Hybrid
All Electric
Overview
It's nice to see more and more mainstream implications getting off the ground. Hybrid solution is a great way to not only bridge the gap to all electric, but get additional benefits like hot and high operations or takeoffs on high density alts where both systems can provide extra safety for a take
off, etc.
I'm even more convinced than I ever was that the prime mover, the motor of all future aircraft will be electric. Anything else is foolish. How we power that is up for debate, but that it will propel that's for certain.
