The sound may be gone for the first part. Could be just me, though. This would open up reverse thrust without fear of overheating, too, if the useful load is worht something. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8mwqXpAcxk ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:47:15 AM PST US From: Bruce Campbell Subject: RE: Commander-List: Electric flight. "il primo pilote electrico!" Bravo! Would also help a lot with weight and balance. And STO/VL vectored thrust would become a lot more practical because the (small, light) electric motor s could be put in the thrust pods, and all that would be required to tran smit power would be a cable (probably two). But I suspect we have a couple of generations of battery technology to go b efore it is more than a technical tour de force. There is a long way betwe en "possible" and "practical". Still, it's a milestone.
