Comment Comment by nerdb0t yes, battery issues are a challenge for electric planes: https://www.wired.com/2017/05/electric-airplanes-2/however, but they are not insurmountable, and many people are doing it:https://spectrum.ieee.org/aerospace/aviation/cheaper-lighter...also, the high altitude penalties for electric motors are completely negligible. cooling efficiency for an electric motor has nothing to do with power output. parent nerdb0t 8 years ago
