Eviation has tweaked the design of its Alice electric aircraft and intends to fly the model in 2021 despite a battery fire that damaged a prototype early this year.
“We expect to see the Alice in flight…” in 2021, the Israeli aircraft developer’s chief executive Omer Bar-Yohay said on 15 December. He adds that certification could come in the second half of 2023.
The company has made “a few minor modifications” to its design. As a result, the latest prototype is “slightly different than what you’ve seen at the Paris air show”, he adds.
