So this plane won that NASA award eh, the "Green Flight Challenge"?
Nice work
-
We have a Taurus in our soaring club! But it's a single fuselage one.

What is it about a portion of that soundtrack that has me thinking about Hayao Miyazaki?

@Vikingdescendent Great achievement, certainly. Practical, affordable green flight coming in the world of tomorrow? Don't bet on it in our lifetimes, anyway. Not until batteries can be made with minimum 4X the energy density, 1/3 the weight and 1/4 the PRICE. Now think about GETTING electricity wherever you might land! Battery prices aren't likely to come down in price, simply because of economies of mass-production; high-tech batteries are already mass produced, & prices are NOT coming down.
