https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/tech...partner-on-electric-aircraft/ar-AA15YaN9sample quote The plane, named Midnight, will be able to carry a pilot and four passengers. The aircraft will have a range of of 100 miles (160.9 kilometers), optimally making back-to-back trips of around 20 miles, with a charging time of about 10 minutes in-between. end quote give your suggested names to replace “Midnight” which implies scary to me

Just think. All those dummies sitting in gas stations with dead Teslas would be in a smoking hole in the ground instead.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Most airports are way more than 20 miles apart in the middle of the country unless you count those dirt road airports the crop duster guys use. This may be great on the east coast, where everyone is condensed together, but it won't fly here (pun intended).
They have flights here from Boise to the far east side of the state, but they are not direct so it's easier to rent a car and drive it. Also, when you get off the plane you still need a rental car anyways.

give your suggested names to replace “Midnight” which implies scary to me Hell Crater. Like a Hell Cat, but with more of an impact.

One Way seems appropriate? Maybe they could advertise to end your fear of flying PERMANENTLY

I owned and flew a 1960 piper Comanche 250 HP 4 seater airplane( it would seat three kids in the back seat and two adults up front) for 15 over years, it would cruise at 185 MPH at or above 6500 ft above sea level, that is a tiny bit over 3 miles per minute. Take off and climb was from 75 MPH up to 120 MPH depending how fast I wanted to get to my cruising altitude, the higher I flew it the better the fuel mileage was, 17 GPH at 6500 Ft and 9.6 GPH at 12,000 ft.. + The higher I flew it the better the ride was also as well as less traffic, go high, always My point is 100 miles isn't very far at flying speeds, the little trainer airplanes are around 100 MPH max, great for building flying time and not fast enough to get you hurt in a hurry when training and learning how to fly them Not so good for getting where you want to go in a decent time

70 mile range? That wouldn't even get me to the grocery store and back. As for the plane, it's a vertical take off and landing aircraft so you could set it down in many places. It's cool in a high tech sort of way, but doesn't really seem too practical, but I guess you have to start somewhere.

70 mile range? That wouldn't even get me to the grocery store and back. And what happens in flight when the temp drops and the battery pack life is suddenly chopped? No thanks. There is an interesting read in the Feb '23 Motor Trend of their long term test of the Rivian R1T. Guy takes is camping to an area with ZERO chargers. Little did he realize how much the battery capacity drops just sitting still, doing nothing, in a cold environment. He then enters the quasi-panic mode by the third day realizing that he has to get it somewhere to get a charge...somehow these folks seem to think that having to completely plan EVERYTHING makes sense in your life simply because you chose to drive a "green" vehicle that has severe limitations all while paying $100K for the benefit of being able to parade among your friends and tout how "green" you are.
Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

Quite true! It's one thing to be stranded on the side of the road because the battery in your EV dies. It's an entirely different game when you're in the air and it dies.

I MIGHT have an electric motor in a glider to get around, when the battery dies (ain’t that an appropriate word) I could glide for awhile to find the perfect crash site. Maybe they get electric parachutes too. Call Acme!
