“You shouldn’t assume that an electric plane is going to look like the (most successful) planes of today,” de Vries says, adding that a common misconception is that electric planes should essentially be electrified versions of the lightest regional turboprops. What you end up with is a plane that in weight proportions, for example, looks much more like old 1960s jets. Israeli-founded Eviation has flight-tested its plane, called Alice – a fully electric nine-passenger commuter plane with a range of 250 nautical miles that the company aims to put into service in 2027. “There are over 5,000 aircraft in service today in the E9X’s size category of 70 to 100 seats,” he says. If Elysian can surmount the technology and infrastructure challenges, he adds, it will then face the commercial challenge of entering a fiercely competitive market.

Concepts that feel plucked from sci-fi novels and films are quickly making their way into mainstream travel, shaping every step of the journey. Seamus PayneLike air travel, eco-conscious hotels are paving the way for more sustainable travel in the future. HyperloopTTUS entrepreneur Elon Musk has been talking about hyperloop technology – an ultra-high-speed transport system in a low-pressure vacuum tube – for years. Meanwhile, Toronto-based TransPod hopes to bring hyperloop technology to Canada with its eponymous tube-based transportation system powered by renewable energy. By 2025, the company plans to build a 620-mile-per-hour TransPod link between Calgary and Edmonton, connecting the two cities in 45 minutes.

☆ 6 top battery players vying to power the $27.7 billion electric-airplane business
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-10 | by ( Andrew Moseman | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

While today's technology doesn't allow for battery-powered long-range airliners, plenty of companies are working on short- and medium-range electric aircraft. The global market for electric aircraft is estimated to have reached $7.9 billion in 2021, according to market research company MarketsandMarkets. It's projected to reach $27.7 billion by 2030, and building the batteries to power those aircraft could be a billion-dollar market by 2030. Electric Power SystemsCEO: Nathan MillecamHQ: North Logan, UtahNASA's X-57 Maxwell, meant to prove the potential of electric flight, uses Epic batteries built by Electric Power Systems. Those lithium-ion cells need to become more efficient, however, for Eviation to reach its goal of flying hundreds of miles on only electric power.

New York CNN Business —The world’s first all-electric passenger aircraft has successfully taken to the sky. Israeli company Eviation Aircraft successfully launched the Alice on Tuesday morning from Washington’s Grant County International Airport. The zero-emission plane traveled at an altitude of 3,500 feet for its eight-minute inaugural flight. Three different versions of the Alice are in protoype stages: a “commuter” variant, an executive version, and one specialized for cargo. The executive design has six passenger seats for a more spacious flight, and the cargo plane holds 450 cubic feet of volume.

☆ Электросамолет Lilium на одном заряде преодолевает до 300 км

Стартап Lilium провел первые летные испытания своего электросамолета Lilium Jet с вертикальным взлетом и посадкой, который способен преодолевать до 300 км на одном заряде. Разработка Lilium Jet началась в 2016 году — тогда инженеры компании объявили, что намерены создать пятиместный электрический самолет, способный выполнить вертикальный взлет и посадку, а в воздухе переключиться на вертикальный полет. В результате самолет получил 36 небольших электрических двигателей, которые позволяют ему разгоняться до 300 км/час и преодолевать до 300 км на одном заряде. Предполагается, что в ближайшее время аппарат будет выполнять рейсы от JFK в Манхэттене до центра города. Ранее сообщалось, что израильский стартап Eviation Aircraft до конца 2019 года начнет испытания пассажирского электрического самолета Alice.

Самолет получил три электромотора с толкающими воздушными винтами и аккумуляторную батарею достаточной емкости для относительно коротких региональных перелетов. Израильская компания Eviation объявила о доработке прототипа пассажирского электрического самолета Alice и начале подготовки аппарата к первому полету. Компания намерена начать летные испытания самолета в 2021 году, а завершить сертификацию Alice разработчики планируют во второй половине 2023 года, сообщает портал N+1, передает korrespondent.net. Самолет получил три электромотора с толкающими воздушными винтами и аккумуляторную батарею достаточной емкости для относительно коротких региональных перелетов. Прототип Alice 2017 года был длиной 12 метров рассчитан на 9 пассажиров, но разработчики планируют создать 22-местную версию летательного аппарата.
