The transmission tower is specified as 1.5NM away, but the Power line is 1194 feet away. Mixing and converting non-associated units! I have no idea what the conversion factor between feet and nautical miles is!
I do not believe that All-Electric or Hybrid-Electric will ever compete head-to-head with traditional jet-fueled HBP engines. Rather, electric flight will fill a different niche, enabling smaller regional flights, probably with slower, lower flight, at a price-point impossible with modern jets.
@Jim I don't know if they did or not. Its pointless to your question. The point is the FAA has approved it for flight (in some form-or-fashion). Why isn't the FAA's approval enough for you? You seem satisfied with their Airworthiness Directives, but not their approvals?
You have confidence in the FAA when they issued an A.D. concerning the engines. Then later, you do not have confidence in the same FAA when they accept that the engine is safe for flight. Seems hypocritical, doesn't it?
