Woah. Those are some giant engines on a tiny plane! Are bigger fans more efficient than smaller fans at a similar level of thrust?

Is it me, or do the engines (or at least the nacelles) seem comparatively large?

LMAO, great idea (would you need extra, extra long life ones for journeys over 10Hrs?) ;D Nah, they're using Duracell!

Sounds good.
It wouldn't be so bad waiting for MSN095 if we had a known roll out date. The suspense is so cruel!

Impressive. Externally mounted so no problems in case of leakage. Furthermore having the battery mounted in the airstream means that there should be no thermal runaway as the battery will just be cooled by the air.
We should expect FAA approval by next week followed by return to flight the week after.
Phew, problem solved! XD

Completely agree. This forum feels a lot more "crowd sourced"
