If by soon you mean maybe in 50 years or so.

Oh, wow, a single place airplane that can fly for all of 2 hours.


Whoopee.


Electric planes will replace internal combustion
airplanes.


Not in the lifetime of anyone old enough to read this.

More specifically, your hydrogen is easily
obtained by even the poorest of solar panels.


Typical naive comment; it is techincally easy to obtain hydrogen though not
particularly cheap to do so and a giant pain in the butt to collect, store,
and transport.


Once again, you don't know what either I, or you,
are talking about. Artificial photosynthesis splits
water at low voltage, and the recombination of it
creates electric voltage. This will charge batteries
to serve all our flying needs.


Maybe in theory, but it has nothing to do with your statement of "...your
hydrogen is is easily..."

Artificial photosynthesis is yet another labratory "product" with no
practical applications or product in sight just like all your other
marvels that will be here "any day now".

As usual, no sense whatsoever for the big picture, much like your thinking
that Part 141 schools are the entirety of flight training.


I never made that claim.


Correct, you never made that precise statement; what you did was extrapolate
on the requirement for Part 141 schools to have a FAA approved syllabus
and applied that requirement to all flight training, which is nonsense.

Moreover you claimed the FAA provides the syllabus, which is more nonsense.
