Is there a need and desire for an electric light sport aircraft (LSA) kit that is inexpensive to own, operate, and maintain? Electric flight already offers that possibility, and if kits were available to further lower costs, we could see a new way to achieve low-cost flight. The LSA designation qualifies a builder to take advantage of LSA’s lighter constraints. A good friend who happens to have designed an electric Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) a few years ago let the project lapse because of the need to tend to other business interests. He wants to know if there’s a market for a new, improved version of his original concept – an electric LSA that would fly for considerably less in operating costs than an internal-combustion model, and that would provide reliable, safe sport flying. He provided the following survey to the Experimental Aircraft Association, which created the link at the end of this entry. His comments follow. “This survey is …
