World's largest electric aircraft just flew

14:27 of we can [build an airplane] that is lower emissions, lower cost, better quality of life — we should do it. 
3:10 jet engines are inefficient at taxiing, takeoff, and landing. For a short flight, [a jet] can burn 10% of it's fuel [load] taxiing. 
3:25 the segment [of aviation] of regional flights is really badly served by the technology we have today. 
3:32 half of all flights [flown today] are under 2 hours. 
5:49 if you're a founder... every time you need more capital, there needs to be something material, something [one] can touch, that you've made. 
8:10 [built-in redundancy] everything has to work,  even if everything goes wrong 
9:40 1 in 1000 flights gets diverted to another airport...you need 45 minutes of "loiter" and then [another 100 miles of range.]
