    Another great video of the ePlane in action, I can't wait to get to see this thing in person. That 180 looks great too! Awesome low takeoff pass.

    I love how you can hear the 180 over the e plane during the fly bye... Just shows how much quieter it is then the norm 😀

      Certainly! I think some of the noise of the ePlane wasn't just prop noise, but from the air over the wings.

    Is this aircraft too heavy for the mover to control without assistance from the pickup truck?

    Neat catch!

    i'd love to hear the ePlane by itself; the Cessna masks out the quiet whisper of pure prop whirl 😕

    How much fly time out of change

    • @michaeldavid3000
      @michaeldavid3000 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      30 minute flight I believe

    • @nybotor1

      For the journey here, it was a 25 minute flight, and they landed with 45% battery life.

      A 3O min flight under battery is increased to 3 hours by adding Jet A or AV Gas.

    What the hell is that pushing it and why does it need help, not a very good tug

    • @nybotor1

      The beaching gear? Extra precautions were taken when bringing it down the ramp, because the ePlane weighs much more than a regular Beaver.

      Since the OP didn't answer your question, I will. It's a 1980's Oldsmobile Toronado cut in half and rednecked into an improvised tug. More useful than that electric power source will likely be.

      Most current tugs are based on pickup trucks, but this is based on an old front-wheel-drive GM car. This was normally done with the Toronado/Eldorado which had big-block V8 engines. This one appears to be a 1979-1986 Toronado.

    Too bad the ICE plane was alongside making the sound of the ePlane difficult to distinguish.
    Short-hop/regional electric flight, just like similar range EV’s for commercial transport will hopefully make a big contribution to our environmental salvation.

    ok what redneck hell is happening with the plane tug

    • @brianb-p6586
      @brianb-p6586 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's a 1979-1985 Oldsmobile Toronado, cut off and extended forward to carry the aircraft. This was common when these cars were plentiful, but pickup trucks (4X4 converted to drive only the original front axle) are used now. The Toronado (and Eldorado) of this era was used because it was a heavy car with a large V8 engine and substantial Turbo-Hydramatic (TH-325) transaxle.
