Just reading about the Lilium electric air taxi in Forbes, they want to
draw 1.2 megawatts from the batteries for 60 seconds for vertical
takeoff and transition to forward flight.

You can do that sort of thing for 3 seconds in a Tesla for Ludicrous
mode, but 60 seconds can fry the batteries in the air taxi.

Tesla has 4000 small cylindrical cells, with a manifold in contact with
all of them, with pumped liquid cooling to allow high charge and
discharge rates.

Most electric gliders just use big pouch cells, a lot of people just
don't understand the implications of that.

Lilium has raised 400 odd million bucks in funding, looking more like a
pipe dream all the time. Ditto for that Alice thingie, but they've only
burned 200 mil.

1.21 Gigawatts for 60 microseconds and you can go back in time. Or you'll be history. Or something like that.

Now, where did I leave my Segway...

There's no law saying that investors have to be smart.

Right on, Dave. I want to see just one of these pipe-dream machines get a standard airworthiness cert. with the OK for carrying passengers, just one. Just like fusion power (and Trump's healthcare plan), it's only a short few years away, I guess.

Oh that is so last decade. I've got an InMotion V11 instead, and the
bruises to prove it!

Eric, you've been drinking the Cool-Aid.
As I did once.
You're bringing your new electric machine to the Seniors, right?
And I do mean THIS year...

I noticed one of the other Silent 2 Electro owners was fishing around to
buy an ASH31Mi, a gas guzzling Schleicher product. Grass is always
greener on the other side.

Maybe Eric and that guy could work out a swap, then they'd both have
their dream ships :-)

- I know of one being close. Look up Joby.

- Kamala has a health plan for you Herb.
Unfortunately, You and Me as white males only get to pay for it, but Hey now!
It's a true realization of Marx&Engel's dreams and it covers the entire Central America.

Best,

Even on the original, pre-Covid schedule, it would not have been ready for the Seniors. And
consider this: my current motorglider, the ASH26E, was delivered a year late by Schleicher, so
by that standard, GP still has until Feb. 2022 to get the new glider to me :^)

There are a lot of FES gliders out there now, and with all the manufacturers offering them,
there will be many more. The more powerful electrics with mast mounted propellers are also
offered by all the manufacturers, and many pilots that think the FES gliders are appealing but
marginal will be ordering these new gliders.

I think you will see a lot of Kool-Aid drinkers behind the Schleicher, Schempp-Hirth, and
Jonkers booths at the SSA convention in 2022, all offering what you saw - and desired - in the
Antares years ago. They won't make the same mistakes that Lange made.

Yes, and I've been laid up for the past week after a horrific spill. My
helmet and pads protected skin and skull, but not the ribs from a good
bruise. Now it hurts to laugh (really) and I'm impatiently waiting for
the pain to subside so I can mount up again. Pretty sure I can fly the
gyro without problems, but getting in and out of the thing will hurt...
