Airbus researches electric planes

Airbus has announced plans to build a smaller aircraft powered by hybrid electric motors, similar to the current approach by automakers.

Airbus's new plan has dimmed the current focus of electric vehicles, typically Tesla.

Airbus Chief Technology Officer Jean Botti said that the development of a regional plane, from 70 to 90 seats, takes off and landing by engine, which can take from 15 to 20. New Year is complete.

Airbus is currently researching a two-seat electrically powered aircraft, with two 60kW combined luggage motors, and expects the technology to be a necessary stepping-stone for larger power planes.

E-Fan has a wingspan of 9.5 meters, made a concert flight at Merignac Airport, southwestern France on 25/4.

This is a series of aircraft designed for short missions such as pilot training and aerobatics, powered by lithium-ion polymer batteries lasting up to 30 minutes.
