Electric and Hydrogen aeroplanes - feasibility and issues

MHI RJ Aviation Group (MHIRJ) and Maeve Aerospace B.V. have partnered to develop the Maeve M80, a hybrid-electric regional aircraft designed to revolutionize regional aviation with reduced environmental impact and enhanced economics. MHIRJ will provide engineering and advisory expertise to accelerate the M80's design, industrialization, and commercialization. Both organizations emphasize their shared commitment to innovation and sustainability, aiming to meet the future needs of regional flight. The M80 represents a transformative step for regional aviation, leveraging cutting-edge technology to reduce emissions and fuel consumption.

 
Regarding Electra design, I am surprised by the location of the turbo generator inlet: one side only and behind, slightly below the wing root. I wonder if that will not compete with the airflow above the wing to suck it out of the extrados.
