      Go to any flying school and ask what most of their aircraft do most of the time...
      It's usually an hours worth of circuits.
      What they really need here is two sets of batteries, one set always on charge while the aircraft is flying. There's typically a half hour between each student, so the battery is doing more than 1:1 charge rate.
      The interesting fact is that all pilots will have to go back to learning how to land properly, with NO engine! Time to relearn the glide approach.

    If i recall correctly, per FAA rules it has 20 - 25 minutes of flight time with a 30 minute reserve. Was told by salesman its use will be mostly for flight training. But most flight schools have back to back lessons. This thing has to sit almost 2 hours between lessons for charging. I just dont see the rationale?

  • @terriecotham1567
    @terriecotham1567 Місяць тому +1

    Once you get a Power source that 3 to 5 hours soild no matter what.
    Then 1 to 2 hours of flight training will possibly become SOP
    It's a great idea
    Only problem is a power supply that's
    Able to Crank out the power for long range flight
    But at one time the SR 71 would have been a fool's idea and the first aircraft were little more than LSA into days world.
    In fact many of the LSA today's world would easily out perform the early aircraft.
    If you never try you will never fail
    Better to fail than not try

    50 minutes of flight time and FAA requires 30 minutes of reserve for day VFR, so it's technically 20 minutes of flight.

      That’s what I thought at first, but after looking at their website is says that the 50 minute range is before the required 30 minutes of extra flying required by the FAA
