With cars, we've seen a lot of companies going the hybrid route, combining multiple small electric motors with a combustion engine. I'm curious if the same could be done with aviation - perhaps a turboprop or jet engine to get to cruise altitude, then electric engines taking over.
Anyone know if there are any promising hybrid planes on the horizon?
