What if getting an airliner off the ground cost just $5 in electricity? ⚡
Heart Aerospace just flew the world's largest electric plane. With a 100-foot wingspan and near-zero engine wear, it proves electric flight is no longer theoretical - it's here. And with half of global flights under two hours, regional travel is about to change forever.

#Boeing is selling its #eVTOL subsidiary #Wisk to rival #Archer #Aviation in an all-stock transaction that is expected to close by the end of the year. I caught up with Archer's Adam Goldstein and Boeing's Brian Yutko to discuss the deal — a blockbuster one for the #electricaviation industry. https://theaircurrent.com/industry-strategy/archer-acquires-wisk-skygrid-insitu-from-boeing/

When the #FAA released its draft powered-lift safety continuum for #eVTOL aircraft two years ago, it appeared to be moving closer to harmonization with #EASA. Not anymore. In my latest story for The Air Current, I break down what's changed. #aviation #electricaviation https://theaircurrent.com/regulation/faa-powered-lift-safety-continuum-easa-evtol-certification/

The #FAA has confirmed that Electra's ultra-short take-off and landing airplane will be certified as... an #airplane. Although not surprising, it's a big deal for #Electra, which is positioning its EL9 to compete with #eVTOL aircraft.

The #FAA has been sending mixed messages as to whether it will allow commercial operations in non-certificated #aircraft under the #eVTOL Integration Pilot Program. My latest story for The Air Current goes deep into the controversy around the prospect, and the dueling identities of electric aircraft as both passenger vehicles and emerging technologies with considerable political support. #aviation #electricaviation #eipp https://theaircurrent.com/regulation/faa-pilot-program-evtol-commercial-operations-beta-joby-archer/

“What I’ve been saying to politicians for the last 12 months is: Do we want this industry still in Europe or no? Do we want this in #Germany or no? And luckily, finally, the answer is yes.”
In my latest story for The Air Current, how ERC System is continuing to keep Germany's eVTOL dreams alive. #aviation #electricaviation #drones https://theaircurrent.com/aircraft-development/germany-evtol-erc-heavy-lift-cargo-drone-lilium-volocopter/

Helios Horizon claims to have made "the first flight of a human-piloted electric plane powered by solid-state batteries." Some #battery experts would quibble with their definition of #solidstatebatteries but, as I report for The Air Current, it's still an impressive achievement. #aviation #electricaviation https://theaircurrent.com/feed/dispatches/helios-horizon-solid-state-battery-tech-crewed-electric-flight/

Seeing the news that gas prices has hit yet another all-time high reminds me of my video from December, on the state and future of sustainable aviation
I think it's good, but that opinion is clearly biased.

“These flights prove that electric aviation can support the essential services communities depend on every day.”
Loganair, Royal Mail, and BETA Technologies (NYSE: BETA), a U.S.-based electric aerospace company, have successfully completed the U.K.’s first electric flight demonstration program across Scotland’s regional air network.

Just had a thought of the most useful thing about gas/electric hybrid aircraft motors: if (for piston aircraft: when) the gas engine dies, you at least have partial power until you run out of battery. Potentially enough to get you to a safe(r) landing spot.
That changes the calculus more in favor of hybrid-electric. Probably still not worth the weight, complexity, and financial penalties you’ll be taking on with that. Like, I still wouldn’t do this for my rv-9.

I finished and released a new video on the state of electric aviation! It’s been a labor of love for the past 4 months, and I hope you all enjoy it!
If you’d like read this rather than watch a 24 minute video, I have the transcript up at https://knowledge.rachelbrindle.com/videos/electric-aviation-viability/index.html

Everyone loves an underdog… until it’s time to invest in one. As #VerticalAerospace prepares to unveil its new #eVTOL design this week, I wrote about the company’s complicated relationship with the stock market and how its weak balance sheet has been a drag on both its share price and fundraising. #aviation #electricaviation https://theaircurrent.com/industry-strategy/vertical-aerospace-stock-market-evtol-fundraising/

Why would #eVTOL developer #EveAirMobility tap a competitor, #BetaTechnologies, for a critical component? The short answer is that Beta has the electric motors Eve needs. I spoke with Eve's CTO and Beta's CEO to unpack the rationale and strategy behind the deal. #aviation #electricaviation https://theaircurrent.com/industry-strategy/eve-competitor-beta-evtol-pusher-motors/
