Outrunner Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Might be one of the most advanced but I'm afraid it's not the first, Airbus flew an electrified Cri Cri in 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuban8 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 All a bit along the lines of Drone Deliveries that were going to take over.
