U.S. Air Force evaluates electric aircraft for medevac missions

The U.S. Air Force is evaluating the use of electric vertical takeoff and landing, or eVTOL, aircraft for missions like medical evacuations (medevac) and search and rescue.
Officials of the Air Force Research Lab, reported that AFWERX Agility Prime and California-based company Kitty Hawk reached a milestone in May with their first operational exercise.
“This exercise produced important data that will bolster the program going forward,” said Lt. Col. Martin Salinas, the mission design team lead in the Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center.

Sadly Biden like stupidity is creeping into our military planning more than I'd realized.

Why? One "well-placed" bullet, and a conventional aircraft might start leaking fuel ... or not. One "well-placed" bullet, and the lithium battery will consume the aircraft and possibly some/all of its occupants.

, The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?
Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
