That's pretty cool. Really nice to see young people learning and applying it.
Here is quoted from their page: *To demonstrate some of the advantages of aircraft electrification, one of the requirements of the prototype is to double the inital climb speed, which illustrates the instantaneous power of electric motors. The target range is 40 minutes* I would suggest this is not going to happen. I think that to double the climb, you'd need double the continuous horsepower (if similar aircraft weight), Maybe they can. But assigning simply having "instantaneous power" to additional climb, does not jibe. You need double the *continuous* power. Doesnt matter about that 2 less seconds a recip engine reaches power, nor the modest disadvantage while the plane accelerates enough for the slipstream not to hold the engine beneath its peak power on the curve (only on the runway, and only applies if they referring to time-to-climb), nor even that an electric would be at peak power despite being slower rpm at best climb where a recip engine would be pulled down off peak. I dont think any of those advantages mean all that much in a climb and certainly not double.But they help. This is just off the top of my head for discussion. I am not an engineer.
