China’s RX1E electric airplane upgraded to 2 hours flight time

This plane looks a lot like the electric Pipistrel Alpha Electro. On its debut two years ago, it only had 45 minutes of flight time, now it has 2 hours. The Alpha Electro has 90 minutes. When solid state batteries finally hit the market, these planes will be able to go 4 hours, probably with a simple upgrade. The FAA needs to get cranking on this, their certifications only mention piston or turbine engines, so you can’t get electric planes certified right now.

China’s first electric plane can fly for up to 2 hours
