If they can successfully make this work, I'll miss the sound of Harbour Air's piston and turboprop powered aircraft.....but this certainly sounds like a sign of the times.
I saw this a couple of months ago and wondered (still wonder) how it will work. I understand an electric motor can be quite a bit lighter than a piston engine but batteries are heavier than fuel. I guess someone has all the weights worked out.
p.s. still have no flown on any Beavers or Otters of any flavour.
