It's very hard to hike from campaign appearance to campaign appearance, especially in a national election, and electric airplanes are still in the development stage. Electric Planes on the Way With Greener, Cheaper Flights Jul 27, 2015 10:00 AM ET // by Eric Niiler The test flight of two small electric aircrafts earlier this month across the English Channel has got us wondering about when we'll get to ride in one of these clean, green planes. While it may be a while before we board a cross-country electric flight, a short hop to the islands off Cape Cod may be more realistic. Engineers at NASA are working with Barnstable, Mass.,-based Cape Air to develop an Cessna 402 9-passenger electric airplane suitable for the short hops to the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, a flight of less than an hour from airports in New York or Massachusetts. news.discovery.com
