For those that felt I was off in left field when I said I felt we should
design our electrical systems to outlast our fuel endurance with
alternator out, here is a direct quote from BobN about this very
subject:

    In your OBAM aircraft, what practical limits on system design
    and operation prevent you from having an en route endurance
    of electrical equipment that is equal to or greater than
    fuel endurance?  I will suggest there are none.

Just an interesting tidbit.....
