Trump Says Planes Can’t Fly When it’s Not Sunny, and Inflation is 30%
Battery and aviation experts were flummoxed by his recent assertions about electric aircraft, which are not yet in widespread use.
You're viewing a single thread.
"Aviation experts agree that no airplane would be, or could be, flown that relied solely on solar power to stay airborne."
Confused by this one, given that https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Impulse went around the world on solar power. Are they suggesting it wouldn't have batteries? Or they are only talking about airliners?
They can also fly above the clouds.... Solar energy just straight up isn't enough energy for something like a commercial jet though.
no airplane
I mean, clearly that part is wrong because it has been done before.
Your additions are good information though.
