re: United Airlines to purchase 100 electric planes from Heart

While still early, it might be interesting to add this aircraft to the MSFS repertoire.

I wonder what kind of sound that makes?

I asked me the same question. Probably something like this? 😄

I only got to watch the first nine hours. Now I'll never know how the video ended.

I can't wait for the sequel - Oscillating Fan 2 - Return of the Emergency Hair Dryer.   [This thread has been useful for me at least - I learnt how to spell Oscillating]

It is not United exactly, from what I hear it is Mesa that is putting the option for these electric planes, not sure how I feel about it lol

Due to an aircraft's constant interaction with the atmosphere, shouldn't Windmill power be the preferred energy source for modern aircraft? The Windmills could be cleverly disguised as propellers, and few people would notice the difference. The company could be called WindBus.

Nine hours?!?
Pff, after 4 hours it somehow became boring to me.😀

Oh. I think I did a meta; I watched a fan video while seated before a fan.

I figure out the ending in the first 5 mins

That fan doesn't even have a GPS. What a joke. Next time link to a study level oscillating  fan. This is why AVSIM is falling apart, all these newbs of air movement just wanting everything done for them.  Does that fan even have  blade element theory?

That is the problem with turbo props, thin edge of the wedge , we need to go back to round engines ...

Then you missed the main part, it starts getting exiting after 4 hours. I had choosen to post exactly this video, because of the interessing story line.

I would have watched it but it is only recorded at 1080p which is just not acceptable in a video of that length, it should have been at least 1440p ore preferably 4K.  Also why is there no UHD version ?
