Electric Aircraft: Survey, Applications, and Tradeoffs

with Rhon Williams

A survey of past, present, and future aircraft using electric motor(s) to drive propeller(s), including applications and tradeoffs that drive the aircraft design.  There are currently new models of flight training aircraft coming to the market that promise lower per hour and powerplant maintenance costs, while providing sufficient flight endurance for much of the typical training activity.  Still in the concept phase are short-distance shuttles, and even hybrid powered transport aircraft.
