Airbus.E-Fan 2.0
http://www.airbusgroup.com/int/en/innovation-environment/e-fan-the-electric-plane.html
The aircraft manufacturer has unveiled a plug-in plane at the Paris Air Show.
Achieving speeds of up to 136mph, the E-Fan 2.0 prototype is, so far, able to stay airborne for one hour. The two-seater is also CO2 emission-free and nearly silent in flight.
Weighing less than half a tonne, the revolutionary flyer is outfitted with lithium-ion polymer batteries in its 31ft wings, as well as dual electric motors for a total power of 60 kilowatts.
The company hopes that the all-electric model will enter service around the end of 2017 or early 2018.
At least initially, flight schools are expected to be the main customers for the aircraft, though a larger four-seat E-Fan 4.0 is scheduled for 2019.
At the Paris show, the 2.0 prototype will participate in flying displays throughout the event while, in Airbus's exhibition area, a full-scale model of the production version will be on display.
