1st electric seaplane flight

The Beaver is a perfect test platform for this. Electric aircraft will mean far less working parts and could actually become more reliable

Interesting articles here on how Rolls Royce are working on electric concepts. They have a whole programme called Accel focusing on pushing electric flight.

They aim to beat the electric aircraft speed record of 210mph by beating their own Schneider Trophy record (343mph) with an electric aircraft which also has a range of 200 miles.

And Harbour Air is a great airline to test this out as most of their routes are relatively short.

Electrically powered cars, trucks, buses, and aircraft are the mostly likely future of transportation.  I think the battery technology is really the issue and battery technology will catch up to the demands. 

My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.
