Guest ozzie Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Plenty of research taking place at the moment on electric flight. Powered Paragliders seem to be leading the way at the moment. A Nanolight trike has just flown on battery power. Commercial product looks like it is less than 12 mths away. most of the current research is based on the large scale electric R/C products. Toyota Pirus and a LSA? quite feasable. Peak oil, carbon taxes, and an unstable Middle East, could mean that this may be the way of the (near?) future. ozzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
