Which is great as that generally means that technology will trickle down to the consumer level. There are many battery technologies right now in the lab, that don't make sense at the moment to produce at scale for cars for example. If there is more uses in the aerospace industry for electrical planes? Then it will speed up development, because they are willing to spend 10x more for better battery densities. Those improvements then when trickle down to things like cars, cellphones, and other consumer products. So I'm glad they found uses even if it is just trainers for now. Personally I think E planes will revolutionize air travel. Instead of large planes that carry a lot far. We would be using them to transport a small amount of people from X to Y within maybe anywhere from 20 to 1k mile radius. Basically regional flights. Keep gas for everything else. Espdcially trans continental. Remember people. We are already on the first steps to air taxis that have VTOL capabilities. The rich will use them first, replacing helicopters. As battery tech improves us plebs will be using it.
