A bright horizon for RA-Aus ”If you look at the register now, out of the 3,195 aircraft currently listed, a very small percentage of these are of the rag and tube variety that light sport aviation was founded on” There is your answer. As Deano747 suggests- submit an article with pics to stir up some interest or write to the Editor. Ultimately, advertisers follow the money, and the magazine follows the advertisers. Expand In Australian Flying mag years ago they had a section called register review for VH aircraft. New or old imports coming in and those cancelled and why. The raaus register would make a great article. Publish a simple rego, type and current status. Then we could see how many Thrusters, Jabiru's, Drifters etc, plus all the odd ball types got registered and how many still are. 3
kgwilson Posted December 22, 2024 Posted December 22, 2024 Range is one component, Wh/kg has improved dramatically as has the chemistry and longevity. Also safety has improved considerably and the cost has plummeted. There are a number of EVs from China that have 1000km or more range. Global sales are heading for a record 16.7 million units in 2024 up from 13.9 million in 2023 and in line with forecasts at the beginning of the year. 1
turboplanner Posted December 22, 2024 Posted December 22, 2024 WS00357.pdfOur automotive Industry measures itself on percentage market share. The key figure for trends is the Jan-Dec 12 month market share. Less than 5% and the make/model is heading for closure. These are current market share figures ending with the 2023 year. 2024 year for all these countries will take until about May. This source is from people in various contries contributing on Wikipedia. Note the latest puffery of combining BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles) with PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles) Although PHEV produce CO2, they are removed from the "nasty" lists of ICEV, plus add a handy increase to promote "Electric" vehicles. Similarly we are yet to go to analysis of Real emitting vehicles because "Countrywide" averages are used. In the USA there are states which will be on 100% coal-fired power for the long term future so BEV in those states don't save CO2. If we split out PEV into BEV and PHEV the big increases are for PHEV. Referring to this chart; It shows the result of Germany's problem in getting renewable energy to meet Peak demand. The UK is committed to banning all ICE vehicles soon but that poor market share means that it has passed the point of no return where it can start selling a 100% market share in time. (Because of the difficulty for manufacturers changing the tooling and lines). Italy for some reason is going backwards.
