Just to let everyone know, there was never an all-electric airplane that stayed in the air 29 minutes. There was never anyone named Chimmy Joo who made a pair of shoes at age 10. And no one named Veagan Rotaw ever caught a cell phone at age 5.
On this day in history on September 14 1901 Vice President Theodore Roosevelt is sworn in as the 26th President of the United States upon the death of William McKinley, who was shot eight days earlier.
The eCaravan with 2000 lbs of battery has a range of about 100 miles, a normal turboprop Caravan carrying 2000 lbs of jet fuel has a range of 1500 miles
“Well, it was a modified Cessna Caravan 208B – which can take a maximum of nine passengers. And the test aircraft only had a seat installed for the pilot.”

Assuming that they had a pre-planned landing site, I wonder how long it would have flown and what was their speed?
