The "Tesla" of the sky

https://www.bbc.com/future/art...ic-plane-ever-to-fly

One note about that picture... if I were piloting an aeroplane with new technology, I would not be out flying over a body of water on the first time out.

Okay, electricity is nothing new, but still, that's the thing turning your propeller.

I also wonder if the plane the person who took the picture was in was powered by electricity or liquid dinosaur.

I, myself, have made a few sketches for aeroplanes with alternative power sources. The biggest hurdle will be finding a rubber band that's long enough to go from the wire hook on the tail to the propeller.
