This year’s Paris Air Show is brimming with technological innovations from a variety of startups that dream of disrupting the traditional aviation travel paradigm. One of the more interesting ideas comes from Eviation Aircraft, a first-time Paris exhibitor that just launched an all-electric airplane designed to fly for 600 or so nautical miles at a cost similar to travel by airliner (or even bus) over the same distances.
