There have been a few threads over time on electric airplanes, usually on really specific technologies or projects only. Recently, freebeard posted on the demise of the Airbus/RR electric-hybrid testbed and remarked he could not find a general thread for it. I am curious about this topic, so I thought I would create a general thread on it and see if the thread "takes off" .... a place to aggregate and discuss news and developments.
A "government support" type story about a NASA spinoff project due to fly in 2020:

A "local guy" story about an EV Aircraft company:

A "future vision" kind of piece:

Apparently, we might get to be
The Jetsons someday.

If someone finds a thread that I missed, let me know. I hope the mods will just merge this into that if it exists...
