Question of the Week

This Week’s Question |Previous Week’s Answers PREVIOUS RESULTS *** Last week, we asked whether certain types of aircraft (e.g. experimentals, homebuilts) be restricted at airports in densely populated areas.

This Week’s Question |Previous Week’s Answers PREVIOUS RESULTS *** Last week, we asked (on behalf of AVweb reader Bruce B.) just what level of performance might tempt you to buy an under-$150K electric airplane.

This Week’s Question |Previous Week’s Answers PREVIOUS RESULTS *** Last week, we asked how much is too much for avgas. At what price did most readers say they would stop flying?
