03 Oct 2022: At present, multiple changes are being observed in all fields depending on science and technology. In this situation, our daily means of transportation have also changed. Now everywhere people are moving away from petrol-diesel vehicles towards electric vehicles. Basically, keeping in mind the increasing cost of fuel and environmental pollution, the demand for electric scooters and cars is increasing. However, this time the electric airplane came forward!
Yes, it sounds unbelievable but it is absolutely true. Recently, this electric plane has successfully completed its flight in Washington, USA. It is known that the name of this plane is Alice. Besides, a video of this plane has already gone viral on the net. Where it was seen flying.
Alice successfully completed the flight for 8 minutes: In this context, various media reports said that the prototype of this all-electric aircraft (All-Electric Aircraft) was developed by the Israeli company Aviation Aircraft (Eviation Aircraft). During the flight, Alice completed two rounds of the entire airfield and reached an altitude of 3,500 feet. After flying for about 8 minutes, the plane landed successfully. Not only that, Alice created a history by successfully completing the flight at the Grand County International Airport in Washington State.
Alice flies on electric car battery technology: In this context, Gregory David, President and CEO of Aviation Aircraft, said that this is a historic moment. According to David, “The last time a completely new technology appeared before our eyes like this was in the 1950s.” Also, according to a report in the Evening Standard, Alice can fly with 9 passengers. Plus it looks like a private jet. Basically, the same battery technology used in electric cars is used in Alice.
Can Alice fly from London to Paris: In this context, this plane can fly for 1 hour on a three-minute charge. Originally, Alice was not designed with long tours in mind. But Alice can easily get from London to Paris, Amsterdam or Zurich.
However, in terms of speed, the Elise is far behind the current era of passenger aircraft. Note that a Boeing 737’s speed is 588 mph but Alice’s speed is 287 mph. However, company sources claim that this all-electric plane does not require much maintenance. Besides, the company has brought three configurations of this aircraft. They are: Commuter, Executive and Cargo. In case of commuter plane, 9 passengers and 2 pilots can be on board. On the other hand, only 6 passengers can travel in the executive plane. In this case, Aviation Aircraft claims that this electric aircraft will be available in the market by 2027.
