This.

Don't get your hopes up until you see Experimental Amateur Built kit-planes running electric motors. There are already electric trainers on the market but FAA certification is a bitch...unless you're Boeing :)



I have seen experimental amateur built kit planes running electric motors.


The things Peter Sripol does on youtube are amazing. He built an ultralight electric aircraft using model-building techniques.


You've probably seen a couple... but it's super rare still for all the same reasons listed above.


Almost nobody uses them outside of some niche designs and gliders.
