The news coming out of this year’s famed Oshkosh Fly-In is focused on the development of affordable personal aircraft, and the persistent themes of electric power and autonomy. 

Several of the most innovative concept aircraft were on display, including the [BlackFly single-person aircraft.](https://www.thenorthwestern.com/story/news/local/oshkosh/airventure/2019/07/25/eaa-airventure-2019-impossible-inevitable-future-aircraft/1770127001/)

Alan Eustace, a former senior vice president of knowledge for Google, said that back in 2014, he did not think aircraft would use electric propulsion for a long time. After he saw the BlackFly, he realized is prediction was wrong:  "It reminds me …of other things in my career where things go from impossible to inevitable in a very short period of time," Eustace said. "That's what I thought when I saw these aircraft fly."

Another company, Ampaire, is modifying an existing four-place twin-engine production aircraft by replacing one of the engines with an electric motor.
