!B3053 commercial glider!

This is the B3053 Commercial Glider. It can carry up to 38 passengers. It is my attempt to build a electric plane that can also glide. I personally think that it is possible and effective to put gliders into commercial use especially with the new light-weight materials we have now. Its not easy to realize something like this but it would be a great way to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions. The B3053 Commercial glider would start just like a normal aircraft with its two electric engines and climb to a certain night. If the hight is reached the engines would be powered down and the rechargeing process begins. The blades would change the angle and the whole engine works just like a wind turbine. Of cause this is just a concept but it is fun to image what would happen and change if something like this would be real. Anyways this plane is my first plane where I used split-flaps (VTOL). So if you want you can see this as a challenge. I'm curious how would you design a electric commercial plane? and what are your thought's about this topic?

    @Smasher8ball why don't you try to build a better version? I'm curious how you make it better :)

    Nice concept! Next you should find a more economical way to get it up in the air, if it’s possible tho! :)
    Also, I recommend fiddling around with the wings and weight of the build for longer glide distance! :) overall great job👍

    @Milo1628xa I know that they use fuel but unfortunately there are no electric engines in Simple Planes

    i like the idea very much, however this plane uses the normall fuel powered engines. I tried to make planes with fast forever spinning rotators as engines but they don’t produce much speed and break at some point
