We\u2019ve got electric cars and even electric boats<\/a>, but electric aircraft still aren\u2019t a thing.<\/p>\n

Mind you, that may be about to change.<\/p>\n

Aerospace startup, Elysian Aircraft, unveiled a concept plane that\u2019s powered by batteries.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re working on this project with Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, the same university that came up with a record-breaking hydrogen car<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dubbed E9X<\/a>, Elysian\u2019s aircraft sounds promising.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve created different virtual prototypes, theoretically capable of accommodating between 40 and 120 passengers, with a cruise range of up to 620 miles \u2013 or 1,000 kilometers.<\/p>\n

Another prototype is designed to travel up to 800 kilometers (500 miles) with 90 passengers on board.<\/p>\n

Obviously, 500 or 600 miles means the aircraft is only suitable for domestic travel or perhaps trans-continental flights between neighboring countries, especially in Europe.<\/p>\n

The proposed aircraft would have a wingspan of around 140 feet \u2013 or 43 meters.<\/p>\n

Size-wise, these dimensions would certainly make the Elysian stand out.<\/p>\n

Most commercial aircraft used today are made by Boeing and Airbus, and they\u2019re almost always either smaller or larger than 43 meters.<\/p>\n

The Airbus A318 and A319 that American, Delta, United and Lufthansa use, for example, have a wingspan of 35.8 meters.<\/p>\n

By contrast, bigger planes such as the Airbus A350 or the Boeing 747 (below) have a wingspan north of 64 meters.<\/p>\n

Not to mention the Airbus A380 with its 79.8-meter wingspan.<\/p>\n

According to Delft University and Elysian, this is by design.<\/p>\n

The goal is to compete with the A318 and A319 in terms of size, but the wingspan needs to be bigger to accommodate the batteries.<\/p>\n

Elysian plans to introduce the first commercial electric plane by 2033, so around a decade from now, with a range of 500 miles and an additional fossil fuel turbogenerator that can be used to recharge the batteries.<\/p>\n
