Because electric airplanes are soon to
replace the fossil fueled redneck planes.

All factors of turbocharged piston props
such as detonation, wastegate management,
compressor stall, a non-negotiable critical
altitude, turbo lag from rotational inertia,
boost thresholds, and high heat oil coking
as well as the components to deal with
these aspects, run up the costs and put the
turbocharged piston planes into speciality
niches, which the fill nicely, eg., small
commercial applications.


Electric planes will replace internal combustion
airplanes. It's a "no-brainer".
