Most of my posts are about using social networking to improve product development but sometimes I see something which demonstrates the power of creativity and innovation despite ample regulation. The Aviation industry is very well regulated, so much so, that innovation is slow and extremely costly. Hence, the aviation industry is very slow to innovate. Heck, we are flying with aircraft engines that were developed in the 1930s. No kidding. But here is a person who came up with a unique approach. He develop an electric powered airplane so light and efficient it fits in the ultralight vehicle category (FAR part 103). This means and can sell them fully assembled without all the regulatory hurdles required by a certified airplane.
