Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Alice, the first all-electric passenger airplane, prepares to fly

A new electric passenger aircraft is about to fly. Alice is an all-electric aircraft developed by an Israeli company. It uses batteries just like electric vehicles on the road. It can fly for an hour at about 460 kilometers per hour, approximately half the speed of Boeing’s 737. The commuter version of the aircraft can carry nine passengers, two pilots, and 380 kilograms of cargo. With further improvement or innovation of battery capacity, the company hopes to develop larger versions that can carry 20 to 40 passengers within a decade. While human ingenuities may bring about technological innovation to longer-lasting batteries, will they also reduce the total carbon footprint of power generation? Hope we won’t burn more coal to fly electric airplanes.

Enjoy reading the article to learn about all-electric passenger aircraft.
