So much of my PPL ground classes were spent learning about aircraft systems linked to propulsion, lubrication, fueling, engine temperature, oil pressure, etc., I cannot wait for all of that to go away

Electric airplanes are already being used at pilot schools and training centers. No gas, means they're lower-cost than regular engines for students. After that, e-planes will probably be used in regional commercial flights around 100-200 miles. But from there, 10+ years, who knows, maybe we'll all have our own drones.
