Flutterby™! : electric floatplanes

Vancouver Canada's Harbor Air is adding an electric float plane to its fleet, aims to convert all of its airplanes to electric

Price comparisons between standard and electric planes are difficult to make because Harbour Air is still in the research-and-development phase, he said.

“What we’re doing here is retrofitting new technology to older technology. The cost is very similar to us putting a turbine engine on the aircraft, but the big win there is that the electric motor doesn’t have to be rebuilt every 2,500 to 3,000 hours.
