    These planes are battery operated. Will that fly?

    Battery operated planes are now engineered for use and for sale. Who knew? We all talk about electric vehicles, but planes? An engineering miracle or a potential dangerous outcome for flight?

    Would you fly in a battery operated plane? No, I would not fly in a plane that's operated by a battery. How many battery operated home appliances fail, they buzz out, and then buzz back on. Can you see being in a plane at 3000 feet, and all of a sudden your plane battery has a buzz moment shuts off? No way, not yet, for me. I need to see the exceptional operational track and safety record for zero failures, like for a long time before I fly in an electric plane. But that's me, I don't like to fly in a jet fueled plane either.

    Would you fly in a new EV plane if you could?
