The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

electrek.co - Clear skies ahead delta partners with maeve on m80 hybrid regional aircraft

Delta Air Lines announced a new partnership with Maeve Aerospace meant to accelerate certification and deployment of the startup’s next-generation hybrid-electric regional aircraft – a move that could reduce the company’s fuel consumption on those routes by up to 40% compared to ICE-only assets.

Maeve introduced its M80 hybrid-[electric](electrek.co - Beta technologies electric aircraft fly NYC passengers onboard video), 80-seater aircraft in November of 2023 as a sustainable, cost-effective aircraft designed to satisfy the operational needs of the majority of regional operators and airports.*

As designed, the M80 promises an operating range of more than 900 miles (~1,500 km) with 40% higher fuel efficiency than conventional aircraft. [Similar in concept to the way Toyota’s Prius uses its electric motors to accelerate and cruises on a small ICE engine](electrek.co - You can get antique plates for a first gen prius now feeling old yet), the Maeve’s hybrid engine architecture provides additional electric power assistance at low altitude, high-drag flight.
