I went down an electric-flight youtube rabbit hole a couple months ago and was genuinely shocked at how far things have already developed. If anyone else is curious, check out this set of presentations from the 2018 "sustainable aviation foundation" symposium: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHtqxcrPbJkSwI-ozYr1AiQ/vid...

The 2019 symposium is coming up in october: https://www.sasymposium.com/

Also Uber just had its "elevate summit" on its flight plans (all electric): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmVTG4mAK7nyJ7pu7pTd_...

Basically, any question you have, someone has devoted the last few years of their career to and given a 45 minute presentation on.

Some more e-flight youtubes:

This is the specific plane mentioned in the article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REdh3Q4cPuE

That guy did a great roundup video of electric flight a few months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIM3pgxHVIM

He also did a tour of the Pipestrel plan a month ago where you get to see some "under the hood" stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfjCXDf9rhk
