Do you think electric planes are the future of flight? Let us know down below!

I’m still convinced people sized pneumatic tubes are the future. THUMP!

@Space Monkey Electric mobility (Tesla cars, battery trains, etc) have built-in battery heaters powered from itself, which help greatly with this, in addition to a bit of lightweight insulation. Electric heating gobbles a few percent of range, but solves the problem for the flight duration.

@Mark Rejhon lets see on the long run and their fire accident safety.
Thats why Tesla is under investigation for fire breakout.

100 dollars for the graphic, 200k for the plane mockup, 3 million for the simulator, then 2 billion for other expenses

Electric appears to be the future way. For Planes, Trains, and Ships, I believe fuel cell technology with hydrogen may be a transportation long-distance solution that could be potentially manufactured at their ports to run these electric motors or generators.

It’s great that NASA is doing something besides watching Russia ferry our astronauts to the ISS , but building planes is not cost effective when done by the government and allied contractors. At least we’ll be paying 8 times more than needed. I guess the bean counters at NASA went to the AOC school of finance… “Spend all you want, we’ll print more”. And just like Orange Obama says,” The economy is Booming… let’s lower interest rates” Another over budget albatross to hang on our wall of failure.

Love the idea of an all electric plane. Just have to find a battery or power supply to make it feasible for more than hour. Maybe a long extension cord, or a big rubber band for a hybrid electric!

Why do the small engines fold up for cruise flight? I would imagine it would take minimal energy to keep them spinning in cruise, and I was under the impression that higher efficiency can be obtained by moving a larger mass of air more slowly rather than a smaller mass more rapidly.
As it stands, it seems (from the perspective of a YouTube commentator at chairing it up) that any efficiency gains from the higher aspect ratio wing will be lost to the multiple drag pods the engines become when they’re not in use. I heard that the storage pods on the long ez take 5 knots off the top speed alone

Hydrogen fuel cell instead of batteries. Use the space in the wings rather than fill them with Styrofoam, just like all other planes which store their fuel there.
