Wow that's a REALLY long plane
- With continued refinement of the tech they expect to eventually make the plane an order of magnitude longer
What's the margin of safety for plane fueling? I assume they plan to put x% more fuel in a plane than the trip takes. I'm just wondering how long of a route this first generation electric plane would actually service with an 1,800 mile range
