FYI, Cape Air has ordered the 1st All Electric Regional Airliner "Alice". 60% of the aircraft weight is batteries, 560NM range w/45 min reserve, 70 min recharge, half the operating cost of piston twins. 240Kts @ 10K. Be interesting to see who they hire to fly these when they arrive in a few years. I guess the bigger Regionals and Majors will have to make a new category to go along with piston, turboprop, and jet?
