Long wait seen for electric planes despite historic first flight

Good start, and with floats these can land anywhere around Vancouver if they follow rivers or open water. Since the batteries weigh a ton, and they do not grow lighter like used aviation fuel, take-off and landing weight will be similar. Six passengers must mean without baggage. If you have baggage then I guess they can only take two or three, plus the pilot.

If they placed spare batteries at either end to be swapped out, that would speed up turnaround times. I have one idea to extend battery life... sshhhh... In the meantime, these flights will surely be sightseeing round-trips.
