No fuel fluid dynamics.
A thousand points of failure reduced to 4 connections to the drive motor.
Battery stability and charge analytics at near perfect reliability.
I’m in.
In fact, as a former hang glider pilot I would drop my fear of combustion engines and learn to fly one of these.
Want one.
Electric motors have peak power at low rpms I bet the STOL performance of this plane is like a Tesla car off the line. Give me a ESTOL capable of a 300 to 500 ft take off run and I can change it from my roof panels for free vs $6.98 gal for 100ULL at local airport. A 400 mile IFR range with reserve puts all my favorite fishing and hunting spots a single hop away. Cover the wings with thin film solar panels instead of paint and also pack some thin film roll out solar panels and charge while you relax. It’s like taking a petrol pump with you to the bush.

Problem is the weight of the batteries is so high you can only fly it by remote control
You got that right. I want one on my hang glider :P WW forever
