Unless you're prepared to go supersonic. Not easy to do with electric propulsion though.

Scimitar props are pretty tame, though, or what part do you mean is hard?

Pretty sure for electric aircraft to do anything useful at supersonic speeds you'd need beamed energy. Which would be a pretty cool technology
