Thanks Zlatan, it's going to be interesting watching this development. I'm undecided how I feel about it, obviously it is for short range flights, so I'm inclined to feel high speed rail is probably a better environmental choice in the longer term.

Ryan Air are planning on fitting these on first 20 rows for really cheap seats. Drop below 200W and you pay full price?

The world's longest bridge is the Danyang–Kunshan Grand Bridge in China, part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The bridge, which opened in June 2011, spans 102.4 miles (165 kilometers).

Don't know about Barra but an e- plane should easily do Westray to Papa Westray. That flight is so short it could probably be done on a couple of e-bike batteries.
