“An all-electric light sport aircraft makes a lot of sense.”
Only if it will fly a few hundred miles. Battery weight would keep me from investing in this company.
Diesel aircraft engines, which are more efficient than the gas ones, are not used because they are heavier.
To me a diesel-powered plane makes more sense than a battery powered one.
The Light Sport Aircraft category is for recreational flying, usually just around a home airport. Electric would make sense as range is already limited by the category.
Only if it will fly a few hundred miles.
""Designed to take 9 passengers up to 650 miles at a cruise speed of 240 knots."" And it likes short runways!
