This Guy Says He Can Fly an Electric Plane 3,500 Nonstop Miles — Across the Atlantic

Lindbergh was the first to fly solo across the Atlantic when he made the flight in 1927. Electric aviation is in its infancy, and its longest flight thus far is less than 1,000 miles. Chip Yates plans to fly 3,500 miles, and do so at least as fast as Lindbergh did. He is quite serious about this. And as crazy as it sounds, his efforts have caught the attention of the Navy.
