The energy used to achieve altitude is then saved in the descent stage. So that’s not an issue for aircraft, regardless of how they’re powered. This is why every flight you’ve ever been on climbs to cruise altitude as fast as possible.

High altitude where the air is less dense is better for speed due to less drag. This is also power source agnostic.

It’s taken thirty years for lithium batteries to double in energy density, and the rate of increase has tapered off recently.

An aircraft like this can be used two or three times a day, while spending the rest of the time charging.

A piston or turbine powered aircraft can run all day.

More importantly, take note of:

> Munich Local Court has held that

Local Court in Germany is the equivalent of the Magistrates Court in the UK or Australia.

Definitely not the arbiter of ultimate truth.

Copyright is automatic upon creation.

Registering a work provides additional benefits.

Somebody exerted effort.

That’s it.

There are no natural rights.

Only rights you’re willing to kill to protect.

Or to force someone else to kill to protect for you.

Further to your point:

Rights only exist up until the point someone is willing to trample them.

Then you’ve got to be willing to fight for them.

At which point everyone’s rights go straight out the window.

> Do you expect them to list every one of their personal geopolitical stances, regardless of the relevance to the article?

The author of the article lives in Melbourne, so I can assure you, they absolutely do given half a chance.

> It squeezes me with approximately the weight of an elephant sitting on my chest

Nope.

> It helps that the insides of my lungs are being squeezed outwards by the same force.

So you agree your first statement is incorrect. I’m glad we sorted that out.

Oh, sorry, I thought we were having a conversation.

My mistake.

Safe enough to not be allowed on air freight.

Safe enough to not be allowed in checked baggage on commercial passenger aircraft.

Safe enough to kill e-bike riders, safe enough to kill people at home charging their e-bike / e-scooter / electric car.

Perfectly safe.

No trade offs, just safety.
