  • Very goog

  • @StateOfTheArts - every seen a lipo catch fire?-Check videos here on youtube. tiny battery =huge fire.

  • that aeroplane is possible thanks to all RC flyers , using edge of electric technology. just look at some of those RC helicopters , they are just awesome in performance ! next step is to fill it with as much Lipo cells as possible , lol.

  • holy shit 18 horsepower?

  • This is the result of 2% of human based co2 production's contribution to climate change...we need more...

  • @slayerdude76 While I agree with you 90%, it is important to note that cars like the Toyota hybrid use Nimh batteries when they could use the less stable but lighter Lipo, life or lion batteries. These batteries drain slower, have virtually no memory and have an incredibly high capacity. Technology has not changed I agree, but neither has poeples dependancy on oil most noteably in the U.S. with our big roads and SUVs. This guy is thinking that soon batteries will take place of precious oil.

  • until we get some freaking HUUUGE technological advancement in the old ass Battery technology that's been almost static and dormant for the past 20 years with very little change, compared to other technologies like nano technology and so on, and until they come up with better, cheaper and longer lasting batteries than those used for Space technology, we could never dream of Airliner's running on batteries, what's this guy thinkin really!?

  • @RotorHead2652 check out pipistrel 2 seat "Taurus"

    It's electric, and the "government" even kicked in money for development.

    you can order one today.

  • you can make it as big as you want , and the bigger you make the motors , tyhe more economical they get , the bigger you make the battery , the more eco nmomical it gets

    will this happen soon ?

    NO cause the goverment are squeezing every last penny out from oil before the start on hydrogen and electric
