Electric aircraft

Chris Pearson
We have discussed EVs, but what about EAs?


Today is not 2 April, but there was a piece last night on the Beeb which referred to electric powered commercial aircraft within the next few years. Is the energy density of batteries sufficient?

    Dave, I am most interested as to where you sourced the 200 max HP limit for wooden aircraft propellers?

    Didn't the Rolls Royce Merlin power the early Hurricanes which were fitted with laminated wooden props?


    A Merlin V12, even an early one, would produce well in excess of 200HP?

    I know we are talking shaft HP.
