That’ll be a great deal for AIR ...and large capex no doubt.
Electric planes by 2030?
Just proves this Climate Change Commision lot are living in cloud Cuckoo land...
For these aircraft to be ready and certified for passenger service by then the prototypes should have already been produced and in a flight testing program...
Where are they?
Who's producing them?
Fanciful stuff without any facts to back up these so called goals..

This is the trouble with modern NZ, so much negativity, giving up first and not even trying.
Where is the old No8 wire can do attitude?
A couple of weeks work in the in the shed with an old washing machine motor, the UTE battery and a busted hang-glider and we'll be flying Auckland to Invercargill ....
.... and back!
Let's give it our best shot.

They are already here
By 2030 so many kiwis embarrassed to fly AirNZ just need small planes?

someone (DIC SNOOP) needs to come on and estimate the demand on the grid of hundreds of thousands of flying electric cars at peak times of the day...
is there enough generation capacity to handle the load.
Or are they solar powered?
or has every house and garage with an electric plane i mean car in it using solar panels?
and can these flying planes cars fit in your standard car port and garage,
and since some auckland streets cant handle car parked how on earth is the average person supposed to park their plane , i mean car in the street.
i just dont see the jetsons coming to a town or city anytime soon or in the future.
i dont think AIR is going to worry about this kind of competition for few more 10 of decades.
Some streets and town planning in Zealandia have been laid down for a century or more as some of the houses..
It just doesnt look like it will fly..
well the family version wont fit in the garage easily but this might...

not a winter flyer or rainy day and no where to put the shopping bags..
still cant see it beating a bike with a basket in europe.

I hear what you are saying NZTX.
Try to build a house that is a bit out of the ordinary it is a maize of obstacles to negotiate
Maybe this one will get of the ground though

Like it ... and lets face it - as we all know - Kiwi mentality is even an impediment to fly.
Most other birds can do it though and they don't even need batteries - they are just running on biofuel ...

Any thoughts on the potential structure of the capital raise? Rights per share? Dollar amounts?
