High performance E-Power jets is coming more popular . With the high performance fan and high discharge Li-po.
Most turbine aircraft now can be convert to E-power system.
We had done to our 1:8 scale F-16 and A-4.
This plane weight in 17 lbs and cable to fly at 160 mph on E-power system. Which is only 5-10 mph slower than turbine if compare with 13-14 lbs class turbine.
The 200 mph E-power is already been done with sleek air frame.
As for maunfactory background myself. I would said turbine aircraft is easy to design.
E-power system aircraft took a lot more engineering and design to made it fly fast and effeciency.
When ever see a high performance E-power jets doing the speed and good performance. I give them a [sm=thumbs_up.gif].
