From Electric Cars to Electric Planes...


Electric planes can be the new style to how modern people fly. Electric motors are 3x or 4x faster than an airplane propeller. Plus, it could be much more reliable than the current modern plane. What this means? Less accidents, more business. Plus, if an electric airplane would be able to be efficient 95% of the time. This means that they waste much less! What makes me even happier is that there would be quieter planes. I always hate that noisy sound at night. It makes me wake up sometimes... However, the negative thing about this soaring plane is that the battery. The battery would need mass amount of electricity to pull off a flight. This would make the plane much huger and heavier causing unsafety to the passengers and the plane itself. Nanosolar, a company tries to solve this problem by adding solar panels under the wings to recharge the batteries. Not all planes are destined to be run on electricty yet this plane still has some advantages still. If more electricty planes are made, this means more airports so no one can complain about the noise. This idea can lead to success but we'll have to wait and see in the future.
