Re: Alice: the Electric Regional Airliner
Interesting. I'm curious to see if the "1hr 20min full recharge" is a real world number. I assume they chose Li-Ion instead of Li-Fe for weight, but those batteries are also prone to thermal runaway and overheating. And a taildragger?? I predict a larger than normal number of landing incident/accidents.
It's cool, but I have questions.

That withstanding, I see some changes coming about with it.
