The Greenness of Electric Aircraft
OK, so there is no doubt that electric aircraft are way cool. But a lot of people make big claims about how ‘green’ an electric vehicle can be. I suppose that is true if you just look at the electrons poured into your batteries vs. the gasoline the fossil-fuel burner pours into his fuel tank. ...

An Electric Plane Future
“Twenty years from now, it’s going to be mostly an all-electric world,” including airplanes, said futurist and private pilot John Petersen at last week’s AOPA Aviation Summit in Long Beach, California.

Electric LSA as Primary Trainers?
Tom Peghiny invokes turning the lemony limited range of current early electric aircraft into the lemonade of broadly-applied commercial use — specifically in flight schools. *** The first production E-Spyder, soon to be sold for around $30K, will have no more than 30 minutes of range. Yuneec’s two-seat E430, now scheduled for 2012 debut, aims for ...
