      Adding new and complicated aircraft to an industry of already overwhelmed and under trained private pilots?

      This can only go the Florida way: with some dude, blasted on meth and bud light slamming one of these bad boys into the side of a resort.

      Like electric model airplanes and drones, but larger. Battery energy density is not high enough (yet) to electrify long-haul jumbo jets, but we’re beginning to see the electrification of small short-range aircraft.
