Personal Air Vehicle Lessons Learned, over the past 10 years of effort at NASA Langley.
Energy cost comparison does not take into account that electric aircraft can be more aerodynamically efficient (at 150 or 200 mph). Prior concept comparison (SR-20 vs eSwift-2) yielded a 11x difference in energy cost. If off peak electric rates were also applied the result would have been 21x reduction. Prior concept comparison (SR-22 vs e AT L I T) yielded a 12.6x difference in energy cost. If off peak electric rates were also applied the result would have been 24x reduction. Comparing against the Eclipse 500 yields even greater differences.
