Still More #ComDem_Insanity!
Have never heard such a stupid idea.
I doubt it. It will be uneconomical, they will have not have the turnaround time and will be limited on distance. Anybody run the real numbers on this, guess not.
“What is turn around time to charge batteries? Once they dump the toilets, pick up the litter, reload the refreshments, and board the passengers, can they still get a 45 minute turnaround to get back in the air?”
I doubt it unless they have removable batteries that are rotated. Even then..it’s a long shot.
I’ll believe this when I see it.
On the other hand, once I get my pedal-powered airplane up to scale it will revolutionize green air travel. Image 100 or more people, all happily pedaling along through the skies!
I’m not going first. Are you? May I suggest Biden and Trudeau?
Compare the costs of electricity versus jet fuel
Compare the cost of maintenance
To make the electric planes, is insane.
To purchase electric planes, is insane.
To buy tickets to fly on those planes, is even more insane.
Oh noes!
The resident oversized electric golf kart fanboy will not be pleased!
Fanboy is feeling the contempt....
Electric planes....Air Canada....does not compute....don’t lithium batteries loose half their energy in cold weather...not to mention a complete freeze...even Def fluid for diesel trucks freezes in very cold weather. 🥶.
“Fanboy is feeling the contempt....”
Contempt from idiots is rewarding.
13 Reasons Why People Put Others Down
1. To make themselves feel better.
As backwards as it may sound, these people feel better about themselves by making others feel worse.
They will typically have low self-esteem, and their misguided way of boosting it is to take aim at another person.
Even though they, themselves, are insecure, a common technique they’ll use is to pinpoint the insecurities of others.
Their ego will get temporary relief from its own pain by inflicting hurt upon someone else.
Of course, this relief does not last long, and so the perpetrator is always on the lookout for ways to put people down.
Reminder: No profanity, no personal attacks, no violence.
