We’ve heard for years, now, about electric aircraft, and watched the early development hampered by short range and limited flight time. And many must wonder, how practical will they really be? The answers have begun to take shape, in California and Colorado, along with Germany, not to mention circling around the world without a drop of fuel. Looking back on a busy year of new technologies and technological achievements, we’d be remiss not to also mention new tools behind the firewall that are designed to make flying safer for everyone, and jet packs, though you can’t have your own jet pack just yet.
