Very impressive, but like all things electric, how long will it do it for.

Until they can produce a sensible range, just like electric cars, they're flogging a dead horse I feel.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

That was my first thought when I read that yesterday as well.
Decals my @r$e!

It's exciting to follow this programme where they make it public but I just find it so strange the story makes no mention of the base aircraft, the Reno Sport class veteran (including this year) Sharp Nemesis NXT kitplane.

They don't want to divert attention from their electric power project, do they?

and dead horses have a very short range LOL
Remember, if the reality police ask you haven't seen us in ages!
When does "old enough to know better" kick in?

Good point. And perhaps the fact the airframe isn't British.

Would think we'll see at lot of electric commuter aircraft within some 10-15 years or so. Long distance is an entirely different thing, but the next ATR-series etc will most likely be electric.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

Back before she worked at home (ie before covid) Mrs z had an hour to two-hour commute depending on traffic.  She didn't want a commuter aircraft, she wanted an Iron Man suit.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

After seeing the movies, who wouldn't?  :wub:
