Flight times on pure electric power are somewhat limited today.

The Ranger of Fritz would be a perfect proof of concept for electric flight.

The batteries are the main concern, but it seams that quiet a few laboratories are working on high capacity batteries with up to 8 times the power stored in TESLA Batteries of today.

A flight-time of 3+hours in a Ranger on pure electric flight, that would be great.

The powerplant a electrical systems are readly available from different sources, only draw back the energy storage, so far.
