other than a reduced noise level I don't think there's a lot of difference between flying electric or flying on fossile fuel
You might be surprised how small that difference actually is. I was much surprised on seeing an electrically powered trike demo'ed, and finding it quite as noisy as the others. The greater part of noise obviously comes from the prop.
