Electric Aircraft Section

[red750]

As you may have noticed, I asked Ian to add an Electric Aircaft category in the Aircraft Section. While checking Wikipedia  for aircraft to include in the profiles, I came across a List of Electric Aircraft. A quick check showed that there are about 80 aircraft in this list. I have compiled a few profiles so far with some more to add. However, many of those listed aircraft are projects which have not made it to prototype stage, or have been cancelled. Others include electric versions of existing ICE aircraft, such as the two-seat Cessna 172 Electric, and electric trikes and self launching gliders. If I find sufficient details to complete a profile, I will add it to the section. In the meantime, I still have more ICE aircraft to add to the other categories.

 

Coincidentally, the current count of profiles is 1872.

This is the BETA ALIA CTOL (Conventional takeoff and landing). These images were clipped from a couple of Youtube videos. There is insufficient detail available to complete a full profile. The aircraft is initially a cargo aircraft, but a 4 passenger version is in the works. It has just completed its first flight in Denmark. It has a top speed of 241 kph and a range of 622 km. An EVTOL version is also under development.
