- trhway 11y agothe electric planes, at least at first, isn't about just swapping ICE for electric. It is about building different planes. The current planes have evolved significantly under the limitations of ICE. The electric planes, at least initially, is about short-hoppers ("flying car" like functionality) where ICE is a no-go because of cost and noise. The electrics are well suited to build STOL and VTOL (multi-copters). With years the electrification can make its way through various hybrid schemes into much more efficient long-haulers.
