Electric flight refers to the use of electric propulsion systems to enable aircraft to fly. This technology harnesses electric motors, which can be powered by batteries, fuel cells, or other electric sources, instead of traditional internal combustion engines that rely on fossil fuels.
Electric flight encompasses various applications, including small drones, personal aircraft, and potentially larger passenger planes. The primary advantages of electric flight include reduced emissions, lower operational costs, and quieter operation compared to conventional aviation. As advancements in battery technology and electric propulsion continue to develop, electric flight is seen as a promising solution for sustainable aviation, aiming to decrease the environmental impact of air travel.
The field is rapidly evolving, with numerous experimental aircraft and prototypes being developed, highlighting its potential for the future of aviation.
