IN THE SKY ON BATTERIES. WHEN THE AIRCRAFT BEGINS TO CHARGE FROM THE SOCKET

The main problem of aircraft that burn traditional fuel is the large costs of servicing

But one of the modes of transport is electrifying quite slowly - these are aircraft.

It is believed that for the first time an airplane with an electric motor ascended to the sky in 1957. True, it was just an experimental aircraft model. Full-fledged electric aircraft began to conquer the world of aircraft modeling since the 1970s.

In aviation there is a continuous struggle for every kilogram of excess weight, and batteries for a long time were too heavy for aircraft. However, the power, weight and size of modern electric motors already meet aviation requirements, and the capacity of batteries due to new technologies is gradually increasing every year. However, modern aviation is a very regulated industry. And although the electric motors in aviation are called a revolutionary solution, the electric planes are just beginning to certify. That does not prevent designers from creating all new models of aircraft "on batteries".
