Israeli electric plane ‘Alice’ takes off at Paris Air Show
At this week’s Paris Air Show, Israeli company Eviation Aircraft unveiled its electric plane, an emission-free, quiet mode of transportation that could greatly benefit the environment.
The streamlined plane, called Alice, can seat nine passengers and is planned to cruise at a speed of 260 knots for a range of up to 650 miles.
The all-electric vehicle is meant to reduce operating costs stemming from fuel and oil usage.
The plane is scheduled to undergo flight tests this year and receive certification in 2021 according to a Reuters report,
which also quoted Eviation as saying the plane will be available for commercial use in 2022.
Eviation’s first commercial customer is set to be Cape Air, a stateside regional airline, the news agency reported.
