The region’s dense network of short-haul routes, typically under 100 miles, aligns closely with the operational range and efficiency profile of today’s electric aircraft, making Scotland a natural first market for commercial electric flight at scale.
not sure then what 'scale' means, other than perhaps regular operational usage. 160km short haul flights mentioned as current range of e-planes, and that Scotland fits that well.
Scotland’s geography makes it one of the most compelling proving grounds for electric aviation anywhere in the world. With more than 90 inhabited islands and communities in the Highlands separated by hundreds of miles of terrain that road and rail cannot bridge, air connectivity is not a convenience- it is critical infrastructure.
In Europe yes, but there must be many other places where the same is true.
Electric aviation pilot in Scotland successful. Royal Mail used electric planes for mail delivery to the many Scottish islands.
