Electric flight
Electric flight involves aircraft powered by electric motors and batteries instead of traditional gasoline engines. These electric motors turn propellers or fans to generate thrust, while batteries supply the necessary electrical energy. Advances in battery technology and lightweight materials have made electric flight more feasible, especially for small aircraft and short-distance travel. It offers benefits such as reduced noise, lower emissions, and decreased operational costs, making it an environmentally friendlier alternative. Although currently limited in range and size compared to conventional aircraft, electric flight is a growing field with the potential to transform aviation toward cleaner and more efficient transportation.
