Article says that the electric powered planes need shorter runways, why is that?
- Zhenya 9y agoInstant maximum torque most likely. I guess they are assuming equal or less weight for the plane
- mveety 9y agoYeah the torque is probably the reason. From experience, if you stand on your brakes and throttle to take off power then let go your take off performance is better. It's part of the short field take off procedure.
- DoctorOetker 9y agoperhaps a rear propeller for deceleration, to recharge the batteries? :P
