🌍✈️ Exciting News in Sustainable Aviation! ✈️🌍 The first publicly available international electric flights are now open for booking! 🚀 During a two-month trial period from July 1 to August 31, passengers can book zero-emissions air travel between airports in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. The flights, operated by the Pipistrel Velis Electro have flight times from 16 to 26 minutes. 🌱 This initiative, part of the Electrifly collaboration, looks to pave the way for low or zero-emission electric aircraft connecting European hubs. The aircraft is small, seating just one passenger alongside the pilot. This trial is a significant step in demonstrating the viability of electric aviation for short-haul flights.🌿 The aviation industry is one of the largest contributors to global carbon emissions, accounting for about 2-3% of total emissions. The Pipistrel Velis Electro is a pioneering electric aircraft, showcasing advancements in battery technology and electric propulsion systems. Successful trials could lead to wider adoption of electric aircraft, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of short-haul flights. We still have a long way to go but we can expect longer flight routes and larger aircraft, hopefully making electric aviation a viable option. ✈️ https://lnkd.in/ga_yn_5F #SustainableAviation #ElectricFlights #GreenTravel #InnovationInAviation #FutureOfTravel

Exciting news in sustainable aviation! ✈️🌿 This summer, Europe is taking flight with its first electric international routes. From July 1 to August 31, 2024, the Electrifly project will connect airports in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany using the Pipistrel Velis Electro - the first electric aircraft certified by EASA. Key points: - Flights between Maastricht Aachen, Liège, and Aachen-Merzbrück airports - Journey times of 16-26 minutes - Bookings open to the public: €120 single, €160 return - One passenger per flight, no luggage (weight restrictions apply) This groundbreaking initiative aims to demonstrate the feasibility of zero-emission aviation and pave the way for integrating electric aircraft into European transportation networks. While currently limited in scope, this project marks a significant step towards sustainable air travel. It aligns with Europe's goals to reduce aviation's carbon footprint and promote eco-friendly transportation solutions. What are your thoughts on the future of electric aviation? #SustainableAviation #ElectricFlights #GreenTechnology #Innovation

Taking Flight into the Future✨ Introducing the hybrid-electric 30-seat regional airliner, the ES-30.⚡ It was created by the Swedish company Heart Aerospace and has a variety of benefits over conventional fossil fuel-powered aircraft, such as: ✅ Zero emissions: CO2, NOX, and other pollutants are not released into the atmosphere by electric aircraft. They are therefore a more environmentally responsible and sustainable form of aviation travel. ✅ Lower operational costs: Because electricity is less expensive than jet fuel, electric aircraft should operate more affordably than conventional ones. ✅ Reduced noise: Compared to conventional aircraft, electric aircraft are substantially quieter, making them perfect for use in noise-sensitive locations. ✅ Electric airplanes require less maintenance due to the fact that they have fewer moving components than conventional aircraft. Heart Aerospace's ES-30 is one of the most promising electric aircraft under development. It is scheduled to enter service in 2028, and has already received over 230 orders from airlines around the world.🌐 Do you think electric aircraft have the potential to make air travel more accessible, affordable, and sustainable for everyone?

"Norway has focused on electric aviation for a long time, but Denmark could potentially be faster to implement it" 👀 ❕ I have this quote from one of the participants at the "Electric Aviation Conference", which was held at Copenhagen Airports A/S in collaboration with #NISA, #NEA and the EU project ALIGHT, in which Danish Technological Institute also participates. ✈ The overall picture from the 4 electric aircraft manufacturers who gave presentations on the day was that we will see electric aviation in Scandinavia within 2-6 years. But we do already have to work with charging infrastructure and design of aircraft stands as well as ensure the proper upgrading of, among other things, technicians and mechanics. 👩🔧 Super exciting conference and closing debate and from my chair a call for more action (work) so we soon can see (not hear) electric planes in the air above us. 😀 #sustainableaviation #aviation #electrification #edgeoftechnology #greentransition

At the Revolution.Aero conference in London, a panel of aviation entrepreneurs gathered to discuss the potential of electric and hybrid-electric aircraft in regional air travel. Moderated by Shashank Nigam ✈, CEO of SimpliFlying, the discussion showcased the sustainable, efficient, and customer-centric approaches pioneered by companies like FLIMAX Ltd, Odys Aviation, flyvbird - Smart flying, and ARC Aerosystems. Nigam opened the discussion by highlighting the need for innovation in regional aviation: “Traditional regional aviation has been characterised by smaller, less efficient aircraft operating at high costs and serving thin routes.” “But the companies represented here today are leveraging cutting-edge technologies and innovative business models to create a more sustainable and passenger-friendly future for short-haul air travel.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/drZJzF4e #sustainableaviation

Great summary of the electric aviation landscape in Australia by Natasha Schapova for Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), including Dovetail Electric Aviation's prominent place. Australia has the potential to become a lead adopter of aviation electrification technologies as a traditional user of small passenger aircraft, with the 3rd largest fleet in the world of regional air transport workhorses like the Cessna Caravan. It is ideally positioned to start introducing electric conversions first, upgrading its current fleet with all the associateds benefits in terms or zero emissions, reduced operating costs and quieter operations. Dovetail Electric Aviation is working hard to make that possible in the next few years, starting with the development of the technology in Australia but also deploying it in other parts of the world, with our active presence in Spain and Europe. Our vision is that Australia can lead the way in adoption, showing to the world electric aviation can deliver the promised benefits under real operating conditions. And then take it to larger economies like the EU or the USA, where we can make a bigger impact with sustainable aviation providing emissions free air transport to hundreds of millions of people. https://lnkd.in/eAm8sYiZ
