A startup Elysian Aircraft BV deserves credit for kicking the tires on some widely held views about electric aviation. The duopoly of Airbus and Boeing have made only fitful attempts to develop such vehicles
Archer Aviation Inc. and Atlantic Aviation announced the recent signing of a memorandum of understanding focused on establishing sites for electric aircraft operations in the LA and New York City metropolitan areas, along with Northern California and South Florida.
Globally, there are means to reduce aviation emissions, but changes are slow, and technical solutions require extensive research and development. Emissions can be reduced through various partial solutions, cumulatively leading to the European Union's goal of carbon-neutral aviation by 2050. Experts in sustainable aviation convened in Tampere to share knowledge and discuss opportunities and solutions.
The race to decarbonize the aviation industry is heating up, with researchers finding a way to make passenger airplanes operate on 100% electric power. A newly designed electric aircraft, called the E9X, can now hold more passengers and fly farther than what was previously thought to be possible, according to aviation startup Elysian, which conceptualized the design along with the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. Prior to this design, the consensus among industry experts has been that battery-electric air travel would be confined to small planes only aircraft that could hold a maximum of 20 passengers and travel less than 200 miles without having to land, Jayant Mukhopadhaya, a senior researcher at the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), told ABC News.
