    Keywords : Battery Electric Aircraft; Charging Infrastructure; Electric Aircraft;

    Abstract : Several models of battery electric aircraft are currently under development and are expected to be commercialized in the coming years. These electric aircraft are expected to require a significant amount of electrical power within a short period of time. READ MORE

  4. 3. Aviation’s future energy requirements

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Trafikflyghögskolan

    Author : Leonard Holmgren Holm; [2021]
    Keywords : Aviation fuels; Sustainable aviation fuels; Hydrogen power; Electric aircraft; Environmental impact; FLYL01; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Flygindustrin närmar sig ett vägval där sektorn kommer behöva bestämma sig för vilken typ av framtida energimöjligheter den ska använda sig av. En väg är att även fortsättningsvis använda sig konventionellt flygbränsle vilket med stor sannolikhet kommer leda till fortsatt ökande utsläpp globalt, och den andra vägen leder sektorn till hållbart flygbränsle, vätgasdrift och batteridrivna elektriska flygplan.
