Seems much of this is premature and the performance specs listed here are incredible given the current state of battery development. I don't see how the E-Flyer 800 twin could possibly come anywhere close to the performance goals stated here.
"Aerodynamic efficiency is over twice that of a typical legacy aircraft of similar size" Quite a bold statement. Does that mean half the drag? Sorry to be skeptical but that sounds a lot like Raptor. There is this disclaimer however-"Note: Performance metrics are projections only and subject to change".
People are signing up for aircraft which haven't even flown yet which hardly seems prudent unless you can cancel if it doesn't meet goals.
However, good on them for getting the ball rolling and getting so many pre-orders. Can they deliver? The E-Flyer 2 hasn't moved much since 2018. Battery supplier TBA. It appears as though no production aircraft have been built to date.
