I guess it's a bit of a toy in some ways (a piper cub will go three times as far on a tank of gas
But this little plane is travelling at 100MPH, is good for about 90-100 miles on a charge, cruises at 100MPH using just 20kW to do so
The plane cost $140K. But the 100-mile flight used $5 of electricity (and yes, you could easily charge it with solar)
Some sort of a "shape of things to come" ?
