Locally here Harbour Air has been testing a retrofit electric on a float plane. The majority of their trips are short shuttle,30-50kish which is perfect for charging between trips. The weight of battery packs has to be considered. The pilot says the torque at takeoff is quite superior!

Gasoline has 100X the energy density of a Li-Ion battery. In practical terms, that means a 737's range would be 31.6mi instead of 3160mi. That would be 90 stops for a flight from NYC to LAX.

The dream of flying cars always amuses me. While generation of lift is done with propellers of any shape or form, the noise will render the concept a non-starter. We've had 3 helicopters ferrying tourists to see a local volcano when it is active and they fly over the capital every 30 minutes or so. Just 3 of them are driving everyone nuts here. They are small 4-6 passenger light helicopters. Also consider the limits set on drone flights because the sound they make bothers people at tourist attractions (not to mention hazard of falling onto someone). All videos trying to present flying "cars" as a good idea always cut out the sound and play some gentle music instead. These things would be crazy loud if you consider they are just really big drones.

I am very much in favor of new technology and innovation. There is a place for any or all electric vehicles. However electric has a big short coming, energy density. Battery technology does not have an even close energy density to carbon based fuels. Energy density in batteries will continue to improve but in my view it will be many years before it approaches that of carbon based fuels. So for a very long time there will be a market need for both. Unless great detail to safety and backup systems are payed attention to a single fuse could down an aircraft. As a former military person and an Electronic Engineering Technician, in a combat situation a fast recharge will still need to be accomplished by carbon based fuel generators mitigating the zero emission aspect. I should suggest helical toroidal propellers which would increase efficiency by about twenty percent. Keep moving ahead this is impressive technology.
@hanswallner2188

You need much less energy in an electric aircraft, even todays lithium ion batteries are able to provide around one hour of flight time for electric aircraft, there are already certified electric planes out there, and they have 10 year old battery technology. As right now energy density goes up by the month, in the very near future flight times around 2 hours will be possible, which is more than enough for many tasks (short range passenger flights, emergency services, package delivery...) electric aircraft will have tremendously reduced costs per flighttime, as all the hot section engine problems go away, electric motors do not need regular maintenance, cost reduction will be HUGE !
@kf7bws
@kf7bws 2 ай бұрын
@@hanswallner2188 Lift is determined by the shape and size of the wings. Pound for pound it takes the same amount of energy to get identical panes in the air regardless of whether it is fossil fuels or electric. "You need much less energy in an electric aircraft," is not true. Getting an aircraft in the air is not the issue maintaining flight is the issue. As you stated "lithium ion batteries are able to provide around one hour of flight time" fossil fuels have a much higher energy density, meaning they can stay in the air longer. Someday it may be a reality that we will have long range electric flight, it is not today.

As the presenter said “it doesn’t have much potenrial use in the military as yet”. It’s work in progress. You need to start somewhere…

If war breaks out, I hope our enemies would be considerate and allow us at least 8 hours to charge our batteries before the fight begins.

Beetles also feature electric flight, in the form of ionic charge. Shouldn't we copy nature? Advanced aviation doesn't need lifting surfaces.

The LiOn battery has a very long way to go to equal the energy density to do the work of a fossil fuel.

And just where do you think they get the batteries charged and by what? Nuclear or coal fired generators!

I think the military is probably interested in reducing the reliance on fuel. They don't care about the environment very much. Transporting fuel is a vulnerable and expensive part of military logistics. Reducing reliance on one specific fuel is an advantage.

Once battery capacity isn't an issue, this market will explode for military first, then civilian.

Zero emissions??? Where do they get the electricity to charge the batteries?

Obviously as much as possible out of renewable energy, but even when powered by a coal plant electric flight is still much cheaper and more environmental friendly as efficiency of electric propultion is completely in another league.

So that plane can fly out around 100 miles and then return to be charged and maintained for a couple of hours before being used again. Maybe good for short hops but that is about all.

Seems that's about right. Beta is building out landing pads mostly in the northeast.

Batteries just dont have the energy density. However, if you beam the power onto the craft from a C-band maser it changes the game. The best fuel is no fuel. The best battery is no battery.😁
