What’s the battery size, and how long does it take to charge?
-
Battery pack is 21kW. It can charge in as fast as 45 minutes. http://www.pipistrel.si/plane/alpha-electro/technical-data …
-
21kW is probably a good midpoint in terms of weight vs range. What’s the range of the plane, and what’s the cockpit noise like? Must be pretty quiet?
-
See thread for both spin up sound and range info
-
Will so. Thanks!

Are there any prototypes of their Panthera plane yet? An electric 4-passenger plane with decent room for cargo is very intriguing (but of course would be way out of my reach. Just fun to look at.)
-
Oh, never mind - apparently the electric version is only a 2-seater
