Electric plane 500 miles range developed by Elysian can carry 90 passengers, promising a sustainable aviation future with signific...
Representational imageCommercial aviation is struggling to reduce its climate impact and it’s currently not on track to meet its goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Sustainable aviation fuel is not being produced fast enough and there seem to be few alternatives on the horizon to fuel-hungry jet engines and turboprops.
The plane, called E9X, exists only on paper for now — Elysian plans to build a scale model within two to three years, and a full-scale prototype by 2030. However, its main design features are already known, and are somewhat surprising. “You shouldn’t assume that an electric plane is going to look like the planes of today,” de Vries says, adding that a common misconception is that electric planes should essentially be electrified versions of the lightest regional turboprops.
This design is the result of a collaboration with the Delft University of Technology, the oldest and largest technical university in the Netherlands, and its principles are explained in a scientific paper titled “A new perspective on battery-electric aviation”, which has de Vries and Rob Wolleswinkel, Elysian’s co-founder, among its authors.
Among the other known design elements is the placement of the landing gear in the wings rather than the body of the plane, wingtips that can fold up to save space and a gas-turbine-based “reserve energy system” that can provide emergency power in case of a diversion.
