    Is there a reason every plane that's a good deal is located in California? I feel like this mystery involves a floating green orb and a corvette driving astronaut.

    Why battery-powered aircraft will never have significant range

    This is a long thread, and I'm coming in to it late, so hopefully I'm not re-walking a portion that was already discussed. . . Some years ago I read about a different concept in flight. It essentially involved a sort of dirigible. The concept involved a plane with a huge bladder filled with...
