This fully electric plane is the future of transport 🔥🔥

[Brain_Bits]

Just imagine the battery goes out in middle of the air 😂

According to my observations, the future of transportation is a HORSE.
This is where this world goes.

Passenger; "Can I charge my phone?..."
Pilot; "Sure...plug it in.."
Pilot; "Mayday! Mayday! We're going down!..."

This will be the most amazing 15 mins of flight you can have before you get a warning to land.

Everyone: Memeing about running out of power in the air.

Me: *Where the fuck are the controls?*

[tomi]

You know when your phone says it's on 15% and then shuts off anyway? Imagine that happening at 10, 000 feet

[Swimfinz]

Range: always less than your destination.

I think it's beautiful as long as it stays on the ground

I like how no information was left about this plane so we had to do our own research. For those who wonders, this plane is N301AX made by Archer, a startup based in Palo Alto. The plane has 12 motors, 150mph top speed, 1.5 ton weight, 75kwh battery, of which only 37kwh is available for cruise and 60 miles of calculated max range. The plane made its first hovering at the end of 2021

Sadly I think it’s not very useful, at least to me. I thought it would be a good future commute aircraft but (rated) 60miles of range is way too limited. It’s probably faster to just drive my also eco friendly electric car which ranges 520mi and I don’t have to worry about it dropping from sky or emergency land in someone’s backyard

Imagine having a random software update and it decides to restart at 10, 000 feet

[traptrap]

You can put your briefcase here. Yeah that was my main concern!

[aaroncarter]

Its got a nice holder for your will. You could even put your tombstone in the back😊

"It's fully electric"
Float At 100k feet : dayum i forgot to recharge the battery overnight

[MrDlt]

'Briefcase?' She's just letting me know "You cant afford it anyway"

[AceAtom]

Imagine being able to fly for 6 hrs straight when you first get it and 3 years later not be able to make it 30 minutes lmao

[PERZNLIFE]

Engineer: How many propellers?
Boss: Yes!

[ohsugar]

Let's let the elite rich go first, shall we?

[peimanenato]

The only concern i had was the enough space for luggages. Thanks for clarifying 🙏

[merovingian]

Remember these vehicles are in their infancy. Give it a decade or two. Look how long it took regular aircraft.

Mfs out here sayin "what if the battery runs out mid flight" like running out of fuel will be any better
