![]() Hello Tunzanians ! This is my first World Report so I thought of sharing something amazing. Now have you ever wondered of traveling in an electric plane ? Never right . Well now u can! EADS' E-Fan is an all-electric, zero-emission aircraft. Maybe we should call them e-craft. It can carry 550kg of weight with a cruising speed of 110kmph and maximum speed of 160kmph. But its range is fairly limited compared to conventionally fueled aircraft: it can fly only about 45 minutes to an hour.
Early electric cars were small and light, and electric aircraft are following suit for the same reason: having less mass to push around means a vehicle can get farther on a limited amount of energy. Thus, you shouldn't expect a 250-passenger electric jet any time soon, but perhaps in a decade an all-electric six-seater Elektra E6 will carry you and a couple friends on a shorter flight.
So lets All work towards a Green Living ! Cheers! Nourin S. |
