One of the aviation world’s most rugged training aircraft is going electric. CAE will partner with Piper to develop an electric-powered variant of Piper’s Archer.
The conversion of the iconic airplane to electric power will be via a kit for which CAE and Piper intend to obtain an STC. CAE expects to convert two-thirds of its Piper Archer training fleet to electric power and develop a curriculum by which to train future pilots in the dark art of operating such machines.
