    Air at 200+ mph becomes a pretty substantial force, I’m sure it won’t be long before engineers figure out how to utilize that to regenerate battery loss.

    The Navy uses RATs to power the ECM pods on the F/A-18G., and they have had many other aviation applications.

    Pretty plane. Electric means less drag.

    Isn’t that an existing pylon racer that they just electrified?

    Streak Eagle was a party trick, but held all kinds of time to climb world records for a while.

    Must be heavy as its current speed record is less than the piston powered version even though using more HP.
