First electric flight by Harbour Air
Harbour Air‘s First electric flight with a modified De Havilland Beaver was without incident. (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Fitting that the worlds first commercial flight was also in a seaplane between Tampa and St. Petersburg. It took just over a 100 years to make it electric.
What's amazing to me is that Harbour Air's test flight airframe is 62 years old, and only one year difference in the test pilots age.
