The Cessna Caravan being used by magniX is one of the world’s most
used medium-range planes, with more than 2,600 operating in 100
countries. The first flight is set for 8am Pacific time (1500 GMT) on
Thursday, weather permitting.




The quiet of electric motors must make
flying behind one very awesome. For a veteran
pilot it would take some getting used to.

Harley is talking about adding a noice
maker to it's electric motorcycles because
they are so quiet they are a safety hazard.
People can't hardly see bikes as it is.......



That's actually a bigger problem than most people think...

Bicycles are even worse, especially the way some folks ride them -
smaller, quieter, and us optically-challenged-as-a-bat folks don't
always see them blasting through crosswalks at red lights.

Had a friend that drove the old Metro electric trollies in Seattle;
showed me the drivers' manual with the cartoon of a bus sneaking up on
tennis shoes. Newer trollies have a noise maker built in.
