Electric maned airplane
"Stefan" wrote Not as interesting as you might think. Electric planes which you can actually buy have been around for quite some time, and they fly more than 1283 feet, albeit on lithium accus rather than household batteries: http://www.lange-flugzeugbau.de/engl.../menu-prod.htm I was unable to find on that, or on linked pages, that it had flown as a rise off the ground airplane. -- Jim in NC

It can climb about 10,000 feet on one battery charge or cruise about 100 miles.
