I figured that out after posting once to this thread.


You figured nothing out. Electric airplanes are flying right now.
Advances are being made in this field every day. I merely cited
how these technologies have been incorporated, or can be
incorporated into new designs.


If you want an expensive toy with a range of (at the most) two hours
and two seats then the 'electric' aeroplane is great.


Yes sir, that's correct. They're really still experimental
right now. I do think I've worked out a few solutions
though.

if you want to carry a payload over a decent range turbine power is the
(now) only way to go


Sure. Sadly I'm only able to fly basically trainers right now
until a few ducks get lined up.
