The objective of eliminating or reducing pollution in every way possible is extremely important for several companies, for this reason measures are being implemented that generate a positive impact on the environment.
One of the most recent actions is the takeoff of the all-electric commercial aircraft in Canada.
100% electric commercial plane took off in Canada
In Vancouver, Canada, the first flight of the electric plane took place recently with a 15-minute journey. The plane, called ePlane , is a more than 62-year-old DHC-2 de Havilland Beaver seaplane model.
It has a capacity for six passengers and a Chile Mobile Number List completely electric motor; This is the result of cooperation between the Canadian airline Harbor Air Seaplanes and the Australian electric motor manufacturer MagniX.
Greg McDougall, CEO and founder of Harbor Air Seaplane stated that history has been made:
I am tremendously proud of the leadership the company has shown in changing the concept of innovation and safety in the aviation industry.
“This is the beginning of the era of electric aviation,” said Roe Ganzarski, CEO of MagniX.
'The transport industry and specifically the aviation sector, which has been fundamentally stagnant since the late 1930s, is ready for a complete regeneration. “We are demonstrating that green, low-cost electric commercial air transport can be a reality in the very near future.”
In aviation, the ecological footprint is very large: up to 20 times more CO2 is emitted per km per passenger than by train. According to the European Environment Agency, it now represents 2.5% of all greenhouse gases produced by humans.
Although this is a test, and it is necessary to wait at least two years to completely change the fleet of more than 40 seaplanes, it is expected that very soon more airlines will begin to opt for electric aircraft in their entire fleet.
Among the benefits of this change are fuel savings, reduction in million-dollar expenses and cheaper maintenance.
According to data from the New York Times , the magni500, which was presented in June 2019 at the Paris International Aeronautics and Space Show-Le Bourget, is a high energy density electric motor that provides a clean and efficient way of propel aircraft.
