My entire point from start to finish was that this is a techdemo. Not an actual product. Read the argument.
P.S. Battery charging issues are pretty much the smallest sticking point I have with it. It's just one of the countless issues that people in this discussion appear to be unaware of, and therefore I have explain. You pretending that literally the most addressable point with current technology is "my big sticking point" when I already have mentioned things like battery energy density and range demonstrate either utter inability to comprehend what you read or malice.
You've no idea how modern aircraft work, do you? Combustion engines supply far more than thrust. They supply everything from cabin pressure and oxygen to their fuel lines supplying heat circulation and balancing aircraft's centre of gravity.
If you drop engines that generate all that as surplus, you'll have to add massive amounts of complexity to replace all those things.
My analogy was idiotic to the extreme because the claim that was made was equally idiotic. It highlighted just how idiotic this claim was.
You're confusing "Japanese politeness" with "lack of different of treatment based on race". If anything, if Japanese never drop the extreme politeness, it means you remain stranger to them and they're not letting you into any kind of trust-based relationship.
This is an opportunity to show just how risky investing too deeply into China is for gaming studios though. Remember that this review is just a start, and terms change with ebb and flow of Chinese leadership being made aware of potential harm that games may cause to Chinese "societal harmony". Which is the highest virtue in the Chinese system.
Airlines have armies of highly trained and experienced people who specialize in optimization of passenger flows. Modern civil aviation would be impossible without decades worth of studies by these people on what works in an optimal manner at the price tag it currently is.
Can't admit to something I didn't do. I can however keep mocking you as an ideologically driven science denier that you demonstrated yourself to be.
And no, still not calling you back. The only thing you'll ever get from me is mockery on the internet. Frankly, you're a great target for helping me vent daily frustrations on, as someone who demonstrably deserves all the scorn I can muster.
This is true to an extent in piston ICEs. Turbine-based ICEs are the opposite. Not only do they have a minimal possible size due to issues with shaft size and bypass, but the complexity of engine becomes overwhelming as you minituarize it in large part due to rapidly increasing cooling issues.
As opposed to electric engine which is simply a rotor mounted on a stator.
I've no idea what distances are involved in US. If you're referencing short haul flights, typical short haul flight aircraft are twin engine turboprops. Usually bombardier or embraer, through there are other smaller manufacturers. Typical range is around 2,5-3 thousand km without reserve fuel.
This aircraft is barely 1000 including reserve. It's useless.
I see that you're utterly incapable of comprehending the point I made, which is quite simple to someone who's isn't having problems in the fields I suggested.
Hint: If half white half japanese person who is completely culturally Japanese has problems I describe, foreigner with language skills is going to have it worse. Much worse. Because inclusion into groups is a spectrum - some people are simply closer to the inner circles of trust than others.
Please contact the airlines and tell them you have an aircraft with range of 650 miles. They'll laugh you out of the room, because that's not how short range turboprops actually work.
I have a firefox with standard adblock, anti tracking et al installed on pretty much all machines I administer. I got a panicked call from my mother, who runs one such machine primarily as her "youtube kittens and women magazines internet thingy" when she got stuck on one such site. No idea how she got there, but it seemed to manage to bypass the blockers I have on that machine. It happened about a month ago.
My guess is that she followed a bad link on social media or something like that to a new site that wasn't on blacklist just yet. The easiest way out that I could figure over the phone was to literally hard crash the browser through process manager, and then tell browser on restart not to resume the session. There didn't seem to be any easy way out that I could quickly figure out over the phone otherwise. It just locked the browser to that malicious page.
That sounds a lot like you have never lived outside Tokyo/Kyoto, and you have problems picking up social cues. The racism even toward people who are half Japanese and are born and raised in the country is well documented.
My understanding is that fuel cells in widespread aviation usage are about the same as lithium air batteries. "Twenty years away" in perpetuity. Do you have any new information on any potential breakthroughs that contest this assessment?
I was talking with someone else about a different aircraft at the same time. Mea culpa. Correct the statement to say "nine" instead of "four". The point stands on merits after the change just as well as it did before, so it's not a relevant correction.
You appear to have just dismissed fuel for some reason. Can you explain why? It's one of the worst problems of electric aviation, even if we were to solve the battery density problem. Refuelling an aircraft on tarmac today takes tens of minutes and on short haul flights, they refuel only once per several landings in most cases due to fuel pricing differentials. Battery recharge would take hours and would be required each flight, IF were were to solve the energy density problem.
The rest, forgive me, but I just can't stop laughing. You just literally stated that extremely expensive boutique aircraft is competitive with Cessna of similar size as of right now.
That's literally like stating that Rolls Royce Phantom is competitive with Toyota Corolla. It's idiotic to the extreme.
P.S. Hub and spoke system is literally the only way this kind of aircraft could ever hope to function. The main reason why A350 and 787 are absolutely crushing jumbo markets is because their range and advances in reliability allow them to fly long haul point to point economically. This thing, even if we take your statement as if it had something to do with reality is literally only functional on very short flights, which means that those are feeding the hub. They're simply useless for anything else even on hypothetical level due to utter lack of range.

It's literally been already cited by another AC in reply to this very post.
I already addressed this point before. I'm not going to bother debunking it again.

Olympic committee just rejected E-sports. Ban olympics by your logic?

It's a desktop connected via ethernet cable, and no, I'm not making my mother crawl under the table to sort out the cables or router.

I'm still not calling you back after fucking you in that thread. No matter how hard you stalk me.
37 years ago, and resulted in convictions for everyone, including a death penalty. That's the time when Soviet Union was still the main threat to US.
Totally fits the narrative of "full-blown out-in-the-open lynchings" happening today.

So you admit that you lied in your initial statement?
My understanding is that fuel cells in widespread aviation usage are about the same as lithium air batteries. "Twenty years away" in perpetuity. Do you have any new information on any potential breakthroughs that contest this assessment?
I was talking with someone else about a different aircraft at the same time. Mea culpa. Correct the statement to say "nine" instead of "four". The point stands on merits after the change just as well as it did before, so it's not a relevant correction.

It's even worse in South Korea with the recent feminist scandal they are having.
Which is really good compared to how they treat black skinned Polynesians or even worse, Africans.
Mea culpa. Was talking on another topic elsewhere at the same time. Correct "four" to "nine" in my initial post. The point stands on the same merit.
