The right side of the GE Aerospace hybrid-electric aircraft was modified for flight tests with a hybrid electric system that fits inside an inverted nacelle, providing extra ventilation. When GE Aerospace’s Saab 340B hybrid electric test aircraft landed at Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky…
Solar-powered aircraft could stay aloft for weeks or months, but making that possible depends heavily on the batteries carrying them through each night. A new study identifies a battery target that could make persistent flight practical across much wider areas.
This Saab 340B aircraft has been modified for use in NASA’s Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration (EPFD) program, part of GE Aerospace’s partnership with NASA, BETA Technologies, and Boeing to complete the world’s first high-altitude hybrid electric flight. Images credit: GE Aerospace…
A modeling study of the SOCATA TB-10 GT trainer finds that hybrid-electric retrofitting could cut fuel consumption by up to 50 percent, while fully electric conversion remains limited to roughly an hour of flight by current battery energy density. Article Title:…
Solar aircraft would store daytime energy in batteries to sustain flight after sunset. Energy density matters more than power density for keeping aircraft airborne overnight. Keeping a solar-powered aircraft in the sky after sunset requires a difficult trade-off: larger batteries…
They day you get to book an all-electric flight may be closer than you think if Dutch startup Elysian Aircraft gets its way. Their new E9X commercial airliner promises flights that are a whole lot quieter, and at prices that are…
Punjab‑based Nalwa Aero said a scaled experimental eVTOL demonstrated low‑altitude hovering and forward flight during preliminary trials. The company is developing a five‑seat electric aircraft with a box‑wing design and tilting rotors for air taxis, medical…
New Delhi, Oct 27 (PTI) Punjab-based Nalwa Aero has successfully flight-tested its scaled electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, featuring a box-wing design. The trials successfully demonstrated low-altitude hovering and forward flight, marking a significant breakthrough in validating this century-old…
