Has Potential To Reduce Emissions, Unlock Potential Of Energy-Efficient Aircraft
Commercial electric aircraft is an aircraft powered by electric motors. Electric power may be supplied by a variety of methods including batteries, ground power cables, solar cells, ultra-capacitors, fuel cells and power beaming. Electrification of aircrafts not only offers the capability to reduce emissions but could also unlock the potential for more energy-efficient aircraft and brand-new architectures and use cases. Electrification could also revolutionize the supply base in the aerospace industry, posing an existential threat to incumbent suppliers and facilitating access for new entrants.
