Aviation is pushed hard to reduce and eliminate its emissions and Aviation works hard to find solutions to meet those demands. Some believe we need to fly less or stop flying to meet those demands. Like other types of land-based transportation has done or are doing, for pure economical reasons we believe Aviation will at large change its legacy business…
Are electric aircraft developers over-optimistic or over-ambitious in setting their dead-line for when they will be certified and ready to fly customers ? Have electric aircraft developers been realistic in setting their timeline ? Times is about up. The market is getting tired of this “Cry Wolf”.

Aviation faces a triple crisis; Climate + Energy + Financial, that it must address and adapt to for not loosing its competitiveness in a world facing the most disruptive time period in modern time in the foundational sectors of Energy, Transport, Information, Food and Materials. Aviation is a highly Energy dependent business, it is what turns our engines on the…
