Electric Planes: They Have Arrived

Electric Future

It’s no surprise NASA is developing an electric aircraft. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is absolutely convinced we’ll be flying in long distance electric passenger planes in the future. Companies like Rolls-Royce, Boeing, and Airbus are all exploring aircraft electrification. So what does the future hold? We collaborated with aerospace engineers, NASA scientists, and veteran pilots to sort through the current electric aircraft research and evaluate the most promising new technologies based on performance, practicality, and economics. We’ll provide a comprehensive overview of electric airplane technology, discuss the benefits and challenges, and then rank the most revolutionary electric planes. We discuss battery electric aircraft, hybrid aircraft, hydrogen aircraft and everything in between. This piece primarily focuses on the state of the art in fixed wing electric aircraft for long distance passenger travel. EVTOL’s will be covered separately, as part of our ongoing series exploring the future of electric aviation.

Europe’s Largest Zero-Emissions Aircraft Takes Flight

The aviation industry’s global trade group (the International Air Transport Association) is telling people that its unlikely electric airplanes will be flying commercial routes before 2040. ZeroAvia, a fast-moving electric flight startup, is on a mission to prove them wrong. The Hollister, Calif.–based firm has already completed its first UK...

Israeli electric plane ‘Alice’ takes off at Paris Air Show

The streamlined plane scheduled for commercial use by 2022 is sustainable, quiet and emission-free.

Think electric cars are all the rage? How very old-fashioned. At this week’s Paris Air Show, Israeli company Eviation Aircraft unveiled its electric plane, an emission-free, quiet mode of transportation that could greatly benefit the environment.

The streamlined plane, called Alice, can seat nine passengers and is planned to cruise at a speed of 260 knots for a range of up to 650 miles. The all-electric vehicle is meant to reduce operating costs stemming from fuel and oil usage.
