How long until this is viable on a large scale?
Is is possible we will see a resurgence of private planes in our lifetime?

This implies private planes were ever a huge thing in the first place, which is simply not true regardless of what bullshit stories GA boomers are trying to tell you.

Germany is in a slow process of integrating regulation regarding electric ascending assists for hang gliders and paragliders which I think deserve a gain in popularity because they're easy to handle, unintrusive and pretty quiet.

E-assist gliders are fine, too, but unaffordable to most.

Richfag cuntbags blaring their 130 db ICE propeller planes through the sky need to be round up and shot however.

Not sure what you mean by "viable on a large scale" but you can go right now and buy a certified electric plane... and it's already at flight schools. Not likely to completely replace ICE airplanes anytime soon, but it has its uses.

50 minutes plus reserve they say. it's not really meant for travelling, mostly for flight schools flying traffic patterns. Like I said, it has its uses. Also, there are more usable electric planes you can buy right now. This one has endurance of 2,5 hours and 1:30 glide ratio.

Constrained between airports where airlines fly electric puddle jumpers. Because you'll never see the fast chargers at Bumfuck General.Aviation Airfield in Cornchucking Indiana.

Hydrogen leaks through everything and embrittles all metals. Needs bulky high pressure tanks or cryogenic insulated high pressure tanks. Cryogenic route requires heat exchangers to warm it up to usable temperature gas. Plus all the special fuel handling equipment.

Ammonia is a liquid. It smells strongly at non toxic levels. So you know when you have a leak easily. Everyone already knows how to make it in vast quantities. Which uses air and water, plus electricity. So it can also be energy storage for excess "renewables".

Cleaned by a solar panel and some electrodes in the ground.

You want to put large scale water purification, hydrogen electrolysis, and hydrogen tank farms at every airport.

Also to maintain current revenue generating volumes on aircraft. You need to go to a blended wing body aircraft. So you have the space for the massive hydrogen tanks.

This is getting into some real existential territory right here.
Are we just living in a simulator ?

Hybrids more likely.

Already becoming a thing in helicopters. The new Hungarocopter has an emergency system with a battery/motor that weighs 25lbs total. It has enough juice to keep the rotors spinning above stall RPM for 5-9 seconds. It is set to kick on automatically when rotor RPM reaches near critical degradation.

Even the low end of that, 5 seconds, is A LOT of extra time to get the collective down during an engine failure or complete a set down at the end of an autorotation. TONS of time in a hover auto. It's a really smart application of electric motors.

Referring to helicopters. For example, in a R22, you have about 1 second to get the collective down after an engine failure. If you take any longer, rotor RPM decays to beyond recoverable levels (rotor stall). The end of autorotations happens very fast, having a few seconds of juice behind the rotors to fix a bad flare or settle down softly is a big deal. I'd sacrifice 25lbs of weight to secure 5 seconds of breathing room in either one of those scenarios.

i don't get it. how will those extra 5 seconds prevent you from dropping down from the sky and dying? times like that are only a lot if we are talking about f1 racing

No the ones you are allowed near are.

all helicopter pilots are trained in performing autorotation landings on engine failure.
The first thing you need to do when the engine cuts out is drop your collective pitch to keep energy in your rotor so that you have the means to perform some kind of landing. There are operational safety charts linking rotor RPM to altitude for helicopters such that you always keep yourself in a situation where you have the ability to perform an emergency landing in the case of engine failure.

If you don't drop your collective quickly enough on engine failure, you can lose rotor RPM. Having the ability to boost that rotor RPM, even for a short period of time, as a safety mechanism makes a lot of sense. Gives you the ability to make some mistakes and still survive.

interesting. i always thought that it would lose any meaningful energy immediately after a failure

Height is energy. Autorotation is converting that height energy into lift.

doesnt matter, some old white boomer who "still got it" will pop a viagra and fall asleep behind the stick and crash it into a house, the wife will sue the company for everything they have because a grommet was out of position by a millionth of a centimeter and you'll be back to boring old 172s in no time.

not that anyone cares, GA is irrelevant as shit.

They will for puddle jump and sightseeing uses. Much easier to fly, usually can sustain a couple of engine failures before it becomes dangerous, and for short trip flights it's not a big deal to fly to a helipad, charge on the pad, then take off when the person is ready to head back or the next tourism flight starts (i.e. alternate the multirotors between tours).

If you've ever flown an old school R/C helicopter vs. a modern drone with computer assisted flight dynamics, the skill difference required is huge. Getting a multirotor pilot license should be almost as easy as a driver's license at least as far as the flight dynamics are concerned, maybe easier. The tests will be 95% protocol and instrumentation tests.
