Показать описание
It might not be the biggest plane on the tarmac at Brainard Airport – it's among the smallest – but the “Pipistrel Alpha Electro” is making the biggest statement.

The Pipistrel is a battery-powered plane that’s been purchased by Phil Smith who is a flight instructor and the owner of Hartford Aviation Technologies of Connecticut.

Smith is betting big on battery-powered planes – hoping to train his students on the 235-thousand-dollar all-electric two-seater.

Excellent. Will take a few more years but the future is electric. Imagine how difficult the authorities will make it to get electric planes certified. I’m sure the fossil fuel oil business will do anything they can to slow this advancement
