Re: DA40 based hybrid electric first flight
Very cool. Thanks for posting.
I did not realize until reading this article that Diamond also built a single engine hybrid and tested a few years back. It looks like a converted motor glider. I do believe this is the way of the long term future.

Wow this is cool. Thanks for sharing.
It reminds me this electric motor plane (looks like DA20??) in Future of Flight museum in Seattle.
