First test flight of largest all-electric aircraft used just $5 of electricity

Heart Aerospace is claiming that the hybrid-electric ES-30 could reduce airline costs of operating regional aircraft by more than 40 percent.

How much you want to bet that this 40% savings will never make it to the customers’ pockets?

Even if they don’t make it, the whole fact that the aviation industry goes less CO2 intensive would be a good win.
