This ELECTRIC STOL Plane will Revolutionize Air Travel | ELECTRA

[@AirJoe]

I love how Stefan kept trying to make him turn it into a towplane 😂

[@DataRew]

I have been talking with my dad for YEARS about how this concept needs tto be made... Not the STOL part (even though I like it), but a hybrid airplane like this. I'm psyched to see someone doing it!

[@simonbowden8408]

Very good video thank you very much Stefan . This really seems to be the future, rather than EVTOL. 24 kts and no stall 👻

[@casaamaril]

Congratulations Stefan on your achievements in Uvalde, well done considering the competition and the heat

[@FreedZ]

I will start an airline with those STOL 9 seaters. Great plane!

[@gilnemesis3547]

Hi Stef, thanks a lot for giving us a look to this fantastic project with this beautiful small curved blade propellers+ original power sources.😯🥳

[@ralfkruse7565]

Hi Stefan, this is the first electric plane that makes sense to me. Batteries for take off, and then starting the turbine to power the motors and recharge the batteries. So he can go there where not enough electric power is available for recharging..... Thumbs up and fingers crossed.

[@licencetoswill]

what a cool plane

[@K0S0s]

I knew there’d be a video about this if you were hanging with JP for much time! Been following JPs updates on FB for a while! Met him back in 2012 at the 13.5m worlds in Texas!

[@gavinsullivan9015]

Super interesting - I’d love to see more video of it testing…

[@CasTheMan_]

You should make a video about gliding at night.

Thanks for sharing Stefan!

This is just beautiful

[@DanFrederiksen]

Battery electric does have considerable potential for modest range. Speaking of electric and jets, the turbojet is quite inefficient but simple and turbofan is balancing fan size and rpm but just maybe electric transmission could be superior to a second spool in a jet. So the jet is purely a generator and the high rpm means high power density in electric generators. Once in electric form the power can be applied at what RPM is desired. The turbine generator can also be placed out of harm's way so it doesn't ingest things. Electric transmission instead of gearbox might just work. PS. basing anything on a cessna is wrong :)

[@foxbat888]

Competition for the Pilatus turbo porter perhaps. Can fly from those small air strips in Papua New Guinea only requiring aviation fuel to run the electric motors

[@jl.4317]

Sweet!

[@soaringeagle]

Have you seen the Sunseeker? I would love to see you get a chance to fly that.. that’s my dream a solar glider

[@mrjweate]

What are the specs (output and weight) of the turbogenerator?

[@martinformlos9826]

Just wondering, would projects like e-STOL Aircraft and Night vision flight be allowed in Europe too? Are these experimental only?

[@Vladimirthetiny]

Unfortunately there is no "Experimental" category in Europe. EASA is a supra national body and as with any committee consensus, the more parties that are involved the more likely it is that any eventual final decision is going to be compromised. Look at how long it took to take a decision involving commercial single engine turbine operations...

[@chrishb7074]

2000 production preorders ?? That’s more than the entire production run of the DHC-2 Beaver. Who are the customers?

[@Winwin-ds7cc]

The first person😊😊

[@Helibeaver]

What is the gas turbine for?

[@licencetoswill]

charging the batteries and extending the range

[@AbdulRahim-cu7y]

Hello Stefan! Do you edit videos yourself or have you hired someone? I’m an editor and would love to discuss it if you’re interested

[@P_Jason]

Nothing is going to revolutionize air travel. At best, we will see incremental improvements and changes. What was revolutionary is when we went from no air travel to having air travel.

[@LSVFlachkurbler]

und wir haben statt dessen Lilium 🤣

[@Nationalist_Insurgent]

Early gang 🎉🎉🎉

[@prodtz]

this will NOT "revolutionize" air travel!! its the same fun thing as the taxi drones that also revolutionized the market... not!

[@planespeaking]

There's always one. This definitely has use case for isolated communities, think bush pilots, and electric has low maintenance requirements Vs a turboprop..

[@bertkreft9689]

​@@planespeaking it is "evolving" airtravel to new level

[@planespeaking]

@@bertkreft9689 I'm saying there's definitely a future for electric small to medium size aircraft. Aviation is bizarrely anachronistic sometimes.

[@nunyabidness3075]

The problem has nothing to do with how good the plane is. Rural areas have room for airports. Urban areas will not accept them. There are presently movements to stop bike lanes. You really think you can put a STOL airport in an urban area? Good effing luck, buddy. The American frontier and Constitution were amazingly synergistic phenomena. We’ve run out of one and abandoned the other.

[@freddybell8328]

There's a stronger movement to add bike lanes. More bike lanes are added than taken away each year. ​@@nunyabidness3075

Whot? Wie ist der denn eben abgehoben? Boah
