Eviation unveils design for its Alice all electric aircraft

Eviation Aircraft unveiled (01-Jun-2021) the design for its Alice all electric aircraft, which is on track for first flight later in 2021. The nine seat, two crew member aircraft produces no carbon emissions, significantly reduces noise, and is cost efficient to operate per flight hour. The aircraft is powered by two magni650 electric propulsion units from magniX, and includes a Honeywell made fly-by-wire system. The single volume, high energy density Alice battery system is made from currently available battery cells and is not reliant on future advancements. The aircraft is scheduled for certification and entry into service in 2024. [more - original PR]
