Electric-ion SSTO from the Runway: is it possible?

[Pds314]

With the compact miraculously-efficient propellers and especially electric ducted fans in Breaking Ground, can an electric-ion plane reach orbit in a single stage from the runway?

The goal of this challenge is to get a single-stage electric-ion vehicle from the runway to as high a speed, altitude, and if possible, Periapsis as possible. Should orbit be achieved, the goal will be to achieve orbit with the best remaining capability to reach further destinations.

Bradley Whistance got to orbit with JUST ion engines. Wasn't an SSTO though.

Nor was it from the runway.
