You never really hear the words electric and airplanes in the same sentence. I just got a sneak preview of this new airplane that's going to be announced shortly called the Electron E5. This is an electric airplane that is going to start being produced in about 4 years from now. Already sold out 2 years of production. It's a $2 million airplane. Zero emissions and no engine noise. This is a rendering of what this airplane is going to look like. Beautiful little futuristic-looking airplane. The renderings of the airplane are pretty cool inside. It's very similar to what we know inside the Cirrus Vision Jet. The interior is almost the same size, fits right into the Vision Jet. From you people who don't know anything about airplanes and just know about cars, the Mercedes V-Class, it's a similar interior cabin, similar cross-section, an amazing kind of a sporty little electric vehicle. This airplane has about 466 miles of range, about 750 kilometers. Speed is about 350 kilometers an hour, which is about 217 miles an hour.
