A few years ago when people were discussing the possibility of
electric-powered flight, you'd get hacked on pretty hard for
suggesting such a thing would be practical or possible in our
lifetime. Obviously if you knew anything about physics or electrical
engineering, why, you'd know it was totally impossible.

So here you go.

"Flight times for two-seat electric aircraft in development already
exceed 90 minutes. That might not be enough for a long cross-country
flight, but it’s longer than the typical flight lesson lasts. And this
is what has caught the attention of flight schools.

So is that 90 minutes plus the FAA mandated reserve time or 90 minutes
minus the the FAA mandated reserve time?

How long to recharge for the next student?
