Airbus shows E-Fan, its electric plane due in 2017

נשלח לפני
 
FARNBOROUGH, England -- Although battery weight may keep electric planes from becoming mainstream in the near future, Airbus believes its E-Fan 2.0 will find a real market: pilot training. It hopes to begin selling the E-Fan 2.0 in late 2017 for pilot training. That's only one fraction of the plane market. A later planned E-Fan 4.0 with space for four passengers, however, will be aimed at the general-aviation market. (www.cnet.com) עוד...

Today we have an electric plane that flew round the world. Electric planes are a certainty. We should not judge future by today's visibility.

I'm not particularly a "fan" of Airbus, but I like this fan.

My concern is not the Fan, but the Batteries... Not this RC plane that is using same battery technology as the Airbus Fan.. http://youtu.be/k9mcNvOGKtI

《When the Wright brothers started flying it was considered a joke too》. It's why they came in France, to find people more friendly ready to follow them.

If i were king of Airbus for a day, my first message to designers would be "find away to charge the batteries in flight"....

I suspect learning to fly in a 1000lb aircraft will make some real stick 'n rudder pilots, at least.

actually if it worked like a hybrid it would be efficient. Use fuel to run a generator to recharge the batteries/run the engines. For example diesel/electric train engines are much more efficient then straight diesel engines.

Such negativity; embrace the innovation. Who's to say the next gen could have PV cells on the control surfaces to increase the range.

She might have acted more spryly if Hitchcock had used woodpeckers instead of crows.

Flight schools won't make money unless they can keep their aircraft utilized, they can't wait hours for the batteries to recharge. Airbus will have to offer swapable battery packs or a charging system that will keep charging times similar to what it required to refuel a conventional aircraft.

You don't believe the rumors about the secret AB development of the AEC (Aerodynamic Extension Cord)?

What a fab idea! If I had an electric car I would get an extension cord. At least I would never get lost. Just follow the cord home!
