Hearts on Vakentine;s Day
Its Valentine;s Day, so i would say this is the HEART of the problem. No love for electric around here.
If it is not better than existing, the only way new technology will come to be is through force through social/ political action.
Even if you solve the recharge problem, you still have the problem that the airplane's landing weight is the same as the takeoff weight. Therefore electric must have a weight ADVANTAGE over avgas-powered airplanes to just break even.
I would be interested in that - just as soon as the battery tech allows me to fly for 4 hours and recharge in 15 minutes.
