That's only true if you overlook Randall Fishman's electrically powered ultralight (http://www.electraflyer.com) and Mr. Monnett's Sonex proof-of-concept Waiex aircraft (http://www.sonexaircraft.com/press/r...r_072407.html). But, I know, you were referring to electrically powered aircraft with the same utility as today's GA aircraft, right? Right. When the electric Sonex can do the same thing the VW powered Sonex can do then it will become something more than an interesting idea.
