I can't remember if I had seen a post of the new 4 motor electric Cri-Cri
on this group, yet. Has it been here?

Two motors in each pod, front and back. Pretty neat, but as in most all
electrics, a short flight time; this one only 30 minutes. I guess that
shoots reserve fuel time all to heck, huh? Take off, and you have to land
or use your reserve!

Thanks Bob.

Brother has supplied me with a few shots from Yeovilton and RIAT at Fairford
so I hope to send a few of them shortly.

We also got to see an A380 in the flesh at Manchester (EGCC) and a Cri-Cri
would be like a test chicken fired into one of those engines - not very
pretty!

Thank you for the links, both are rather amazing aircraft.
One must be almost silent and the other rather noisy for the pilot.
I'm not sure about having the cylinder beneath the pilots knees.
