Interesting.

The Airbus E-Fan is intended for flight instruction. Would that be multiengine
flight instruction?


I predict it will rank right up there with the Lancer 402 in terms of success.



When they produce a machine that is a 4 seater and has a 4 hour
endurance I'll look at electric powered aircraft but not before


I would take any number of seats, 4 hour endurance, 30 minute
recharge time, a guarantied 6 year battery life, and a battery
replacement cost of less than $10,000.
