    Is there anything out there like this?

    Saunders JetHawk...Any builders?

    Hopefully without giving offense, I'm rather put off by your tone. Bye has two or three aircraft already flying, and as I said clearly, without stuttering or misspelling anything, they are currently undergoing the certification process with the FAA.

    Saunders JetHawk...Any builders?

    Resurrecting this thread, as I recall being fascinated with this back in the 80s... I recently saw a news article about the Bye Aviation eFlyer electric aircraft: https://byeaerospace.com/eflyer/ and the Pipistrel Alpha Electro: https://www.pipistrel-usa.com/alpha-electro/ I also read a news...
