I have noticed the title of this thread, "Eviation Alice Test Flight", but I've not yet seen any post that indicates that this thing has actually flown. Has the "Alice" (not the one in Wonderland) actually flown yet?

Cheers,
Grog

Not yet. First flight "later this year".

Eviation have been backpedalling somewhat on the timescale, capability and economics.

In November, it announced that the prototype would fly at Le Bourget in June (it didn't, and hasn't yet), that it would cruise at 240 kts (now apparently 220 kts) and that DOCs would be around 20% of a comparable sized turboprop (now 30%).

I wish them well, but they have a bumpy road ahead.

They need $200mill? Those CGI geeks must be an expensive lot.
