what happens when there are airport delays for weather? What happens when the temperature goes below freezing? How will the plane deal with ice build up on the wings in flight? How will the plane heat the passenger compartment - pilot compartment? It’s pretty cold up there.. charcoal or wood stove? A plane like a 747 burns 1 L of fuel per second.. well if the airport is shut down for a power failure or some other emergency while these electric planes are in the air waiting to land for some emergency like, an earthquake which is very possible in places like California or Washington or Canada or Alaska or Japan, etc.. Hydrogen is a more realistic answer, not electric.. come to think of it, what’s wrong with bringing back Zepplin airships. Or zeppelin airship trains. A zeppelin towing other zeppelins

When you're charging your batteries with fossil fuels, you've compounded the environmental damage when you consider mining and disposing of the massive batteries required.
That's a load of bollocks I'm sorry to say, it burns electrons not fossil fuel, and it doesn't pollute the sky, even if the electrons are produced by fossil fuels it's still clean. Once batteries get to the point of needing to be replaced they have a second life as battery storage, after that, they are broken down for their parts. All transport companies are transitioning from fossil fuels, just get with the times looks like DHL has.
Not necessarily true if you factor in the benefit to efficiency that the scale of a power plant uses and the fact that a natural gas power plant produces fewer emissions than burning an equivalent amount of jet fuel. Combine that with the increasing share of renewables powering the grid and the fact that battery mining is a one time emission over the life of the plane and batteries end up cleaner.
You offering an opinion or is there data to back up your claim? All I found are benefits because once manufactured no emissions, reliability, service, etc favors electric vs fossil fuel aircraft engines. The Constancy of using fossil fuels on planes for each second of operation, the carbon trail of each ounce of fuel is HUGE. Sorry, you are incorrect.
All good except ladder. It gonna break in half at the door. No rounding on gate corners further increases stress concentration
Is there any video's of it flying? Like the shape. Cg looks like it can be difficult,
I was there when it flew its definitely real!

The name is rather apt…..Alice, as in the fairytale Alice in Wonderland 😂👍👍

8 minutes... impressive for a toy. Wait... what? There are humans inside?!
Just no…
