If thats so then Patrick Stuart is now a co conspirator to child abuse on the RUclips platform, Which means he needs to be imprisoned. Now i throw out all my Patrick stuart movies , I don't support child abusers. Lying to children is child abuse.
"Captain, we don't have any power left! The warp drive is useless!" "Geordi, is there a charging station on this side of the neutral zone?" "Ya, we can use impulse power to get us to Tesla VII, and charge enough to get back to Rigel..." :)
Aviation produces 2% of CO2. Transportation as a whole produces 12%. Heat and electricity produce 32%. Manufacturing and construction produces 13% and agriculture 12%. Aviation CO2 is like the size of flea in a world of elephants.
One of the biggest issues I see with electrically powered aircraft is the fact that the battery doesn’t get any lighter as it discharges. In a hydrocarbon fueled plane, as the flight progress and fuel is burned off, the aircraft lightens and becomes somewhat more efficient. With batteries, you expend as much energy dragging them along when fully charged as you do when they’ve discharged. And as for commercial travel, turnaround time must be considered - pumping fuel into tanks is a quick operation. With current (no pun intended) technology, recharging a large battery is much less so.
Yes, but the point was that, with liquid fuel, the plane gets lighter the longer the flight lasts. This decreases the load and increases the average fuel efficiency of the flight. With batteries, you have to carry the same weight throughout the flight.
The only problem with an electric aircraft is low energy to weigh of batteries. But even so, they are viable for short distance travel. That travel distance will grow as batteries improve. It's the right time now to start developing the aircrafts, so we have them to put those improved batteries in. It's odd how non-engeneers are so quick at finding problems, even inventing them, but so unwilling to take the next step and solve them!
Come on folks, what did they say about SpaceX? And now it's the norm! Engineering is super hard yet we continue to do amazing things EVERY SINGLE DAY. This will work sooner or later if we keep pushing forward! cheers!
SpaceX is smart enough to use pure fossil fuels to achieve full reusability of their rockets & drastically reduce the cost of sending payloads to space. When batteries are depleted of their energy, they still weigh exactly the same. Rockets must lighten their load by burning fuel to reach orbit. Mitch, Australia.
You are delusional with this statement. You can’t call a monopoly a norm, at the moment there is no other option than using SpaceX since NASA gave up because of costs and lack of innovation. Surely it’s easier to use an option instead of throwing money into a pit and burn it, especially if the governmental funding got reduced year by year after the space shuttle disasters. So don’t call SpaceX a norm when there is just no alternative at the moment, at least none that would be financially an option to choose from.
It's not that it's not great, its fabulous..but they need to remove all of the special training and focus on how it servers the trillions of cars on the road.. short range.. the goals they push and the reasons do not serve any reasonable purpose.. we use the most fuel moving ppl locally..within our cities.. The only impact this will have is trillions of hard working tax payers dollars to build the infrastructure from scratch..and pay grants..more wasted dollars, only the founders reak the rewards of these dollars as the company's go bankrupt..we see this all over the world with EV car manufacturers..most don't ever even build a car..after stealing billions..😢
I remember sitting on an aircraft in 2018. In the seat pocket there was a airline-published magazine where their CEO put flight shaming down by writing (my summary): "yes- flying on fossil fuel is bad, but what can we do? It will be at least 50-60 years before we see anything fly on electric engines". I think about that article a lot, when seeing the evolution like in this video
They were talking about long range aviation. There is very little hope to electrify that sector anytime soon. We are, at least, a factor of ten away in terms of power density and weight requirements.
I admire the young inventors of our time. They could potentially provide an alternative to the large corporations that exploit us. A jet engine is heavy mainly because it includes sturdy metals to withstand extreme heat. Electric motors also generate heat, but not as much as engines, allowing us to use materials that can tolerate heat while remaining light. Although the battery may drain quickly, once the motor starts, it can recharge itself while in use. Even though they may have limited range and speed, it doesn't matter since we are aiming for a budget airline experience, not to mention their potential for future improvement. If there are any obstacles to this development, they would be our fixed mindset and corrupt politicians with their cozy relationships with big corporations. Hats off to these young engineers!
The so called alternative to hug corps . Is a complete falicy they co troll the agencies that regulate airspace and standards as soon as they see ita profitable big corps will g ake over like they always do .
Young people can be brilliant but too many are misled by people telling them large corporations are bad. In reality large corporations exist because they efficiently provide us with goods we want at a price that is very hard to beat. Forty years ago you might work a week or more to earn enough to buy a 32 inch low definition television. In America a days wages today will get you a 70 inch high definition thin television. Try finding a small group of people any age that can do that…. Necessity is the mother of invention and the best motivator is greed. Greed can be good if it gets you up in the morning to be a productive worker and citizen. Competition and free enterprise, not government interference, bring forth the best ideas to make them successful. Companies with lazy workers who feel entitled to getting paid for low productivity go out of business. Companies with bad ideas go out of business. Large companies like Amazon deliver us stuff we want very efficiently for very little cost saving tremendous amounts of fuel and time. No person is forced to work there. Every American can get a good education and a great paying job. I didn’t say it was easy. It takes hard work and time but almost anyone with normal IQ can do it if they choose to. We are free so many choose to be lazy and complain about corporations and feel entitled to the same standard of living as people who work hard and plan smart. You can’t dink around in school and goof off on the job and expect the same rewards as someone who works hard at getting a pertinent education and saves money and takes risks and invests their savings in various companies. It doesn’t work that way. If people don’t like large corporations that provide us goods and services efficiently, they are perfectly free to spend their money at small businesses or with individual producers. See how much it would cost to build a 70 inch HD flat screen by yourself or have one custom built by some individual. I doubt you could do it for a month’s wages. I wouldn’t know where to look in the earth for the raw materials or how to process them. No personal can even come close to building a passenger jet but I am thankful that large corporations and capitalism driven by the desire to work for a better life can organize people into corporations that can achieve great thing that benefit us all. I like to support small business as much as possible. There are things they can do better than big companies such as making a great sandwich or pizza. You will pay more but sometimes it is well worth it. Socialism is not as good as capitalism at motivating people. It is a nice sounding idea that historically and currently fails in practice and fails greatly comparison to free enterprise. Greed is good if it motivates people to accomplish great things and work productively. I am referring to the greed of an honest hard working and hard thinking worker. Greed of a lazy person who dishonestly tries to trick or cheat people out of their money to get what they want is evil. Expecting the government to take care of you is wrong. You should be helping the government to perform its necessary duties by earning good money and paying a lot of taxes and spreading the wealth by being generous to others who are working their way through school or performing low skilled service jobs. Give 25% tip to restaurant servers and they will be happy to see you walking in the business the next time and they will be serving you with a genuine smile. Tipping like a tightwad or not tipping and demanding great individual service will get you some spit in your soup and an unhappy and bitter service worker . There is no free lunch and the government does not create wealth or money or produce any product or wealth. . They perform necessary functions at a very high cost to the taxpayer. They can print money but that just inflates the currency and steals a little bit of wealth from people who work, save, invest, and pay taxes. Giving the printed-out-of thin-air-money to lazy and idle people rewards their bad behavior and creates the feeling of entitlement and does not generate any tax revenue. Welfare handouts re not good motivators..

The greatest savings potential is overlooked in the video: 1. Lower cruising speed is much more energy efficient. Long-distance propeller aircraft of the 1940s were much more fuel efficient than modern jet aircraft because of the lower speed. 2. The propeller is still far from maximum efficiency. 3. Wake turbulence: Instead of putting the engines at the wing tips, you can also do this with the fuselage. Such concepts already existed in the 1940s. This reduces the bending load on the wing and it is easier to build because it has an almost constant thickness over its length. Even biplanes would be conceivable with 2 fuselages on each end. This would create a large passenger capacity with the same aircraft width which limits the use of today's runways. The lower travel speed and thus longer travel time is compensated by the fact that the increased volume gives passengers more space and therefore more comfort, e.g. for good sleeping accommodations. This means that the flight does not become a waste of time for the passengers.
The battery fire concerns all go away when you start talking about Sodium Ion batteries. They are ALMOST caught up with Li-ion AND improving FASTER, so there is every chance they will soon be the battery of choice. They are cheaper to produce, last for more cycles, And they don't catch fire!
They never existed! The claims about EV fires is 90% fake. EV cars are 20 to 40 times LESS common than fossil engine fires. This reality is from Insurance company records. Most of the fires you see are early Hybrid vehicles. BMW for instance have more vehicle fires in their fossil cars in the UK, in one year than World wide EV fires in the last 15 years! They have faulty plastic EGR valves that catch fire and burn the vehicle to the ground.
One big part that is missing from this conversation is that up to 500 miles, trains are better option, both for how long it takes and much less carbon used. This means that the airline industry needs to get rid of its short flights, which they actually don’t make any money on, and had it over to trains.
i think E-plane still not yet capable of fully replace conventional jet-plane, but i'll looking forward that one day we will have an E-plane that can fly as far as jet-plane and of course more efficiency and more environment friendly than jet-plane
Norway IS the perfect proving ground for this new tech. 400 or 500 kilometer range? Because of the fiords and the mountains of Norway a 30 kilometer trip.. as the crow flies, requires, today, as much as 4 hours by road (230 kilometers to go around, up and over the mountains.),, or 7 hours by boat. (62 kilometers going up one fiord to the ocean and down the next to the destination.) 15 minutes by electric float plane. His experimental 2 seater is already the cheapest, fastest way to get to the next town.
37:10 BS. The difference between a fuel fire and a battery fire is that there is a possibility to extinguish a fuel fire. You can even dump the fuel, turn on the extinguishers and glide the plane towards the ground. NOTHING can stop a lithium battery fire. When electric cars catch fire, they have to let it burn itself out. You can do several things to stop a fire on a modern airplane. If you catch fire in an electric plane mid flight, you can either jump off quickly, or you can crash and burn. No 3rd alternative.
Sctually, a group in Sweden (IIRC) has figured out how to put out a fire in an auto battery pack. They flood it with super cooled, maximally salty brine. I've seen the videos. It actually works! Unfortunately that isn't going to help you in that 19 pax e-plane at cruise altitude.
@@Roy_Godiksen yes. And if a lithium battery is in a thermal runaway condition, water is the most practical way to cool it while extinguishing the flames. Were you expecting the battery to still be usable after the fire?
@TacticalLulu From all the world wide examples of the firefighters spraying water on a burning electric car, only to give up and focus on containing the fire to the vehicle. When water contacts the lithium, you get a runaway chemical reaction. Feeding water to a fire of the level will potentially add "fuel to the fire" as the next cells now are damaged by the heat, and gets into contact with more water, starting another out of control burn.
My favorite is the Volocopter. These engineers are the best in the world. They pioneered a whole new segment of aviation, and I believe the Volocopter is the safest aircraft in existence.
Airships may have their place but not for long trips. Jets today are traveling at something like 500 mph and still take 4 hrs maybe more to get to somewhere like Greece from the UK, Airships are going little over 100 mph at the moment.
I too am hopeful for the future. With over 8 billion of us on this planet, I think The Eternal Creator has given mankind the tools to solve such minor pursuits.
The only thing I am gonna say it's that I am stunning how does early pioneers develop all of that and we still figuring out how it works. My dad was obsessed with watches every time that he took us to the mall went to the watch store to buy watches for us especially Casio brand he always was wearing one 😑 😒. Took us to the casino 🎰 to wait for him to hustle a bit a couple dollars 💸 to the theater to watch a movie he was special teaching how a solenoid works and a defrost thermostats works in a refrigerator. It took me a lot of time to realize why he did with so much pride and love. I am amazed how 🤔 breguet, clément, blériot, pascal and a lot of the pioneers of the early-ish aviation industry develop and achieved all of this it's a great honor to serve those who died for it.
He talks about the electric engine being a lot lighter than a combustion engine and completely ignores the weight of a gigantic heavy battery full of exotic minerals that will wear out and have to be recycled somehow.
How much emissions are produced to produce the electricity? How much emissions are produced to produce the generation equipment. How much emissions are produced to produce the E-planes/EVs. There is no such thing as zero emissions at some point emissions are or have been produced.
@@arlendavis Well, if the electricity comes via "The Sun" and the "Generation equipment" takes less energy ("Emissions") to build (ONE time) that the Fossil fuel collection and refinement plant... plus the CONTINUOUS energy to run that plant (Which itself generates emissions when produced.... get the idea?) Then your opinion isn't really valid. The object isn't "ELIMINATION", it's reduction. the base energy to produce the systems, THEN elimination of the emissions from production of the energy required for daily use. . IF you look at the total system over time it's not even close.... and I mean the WHOLE system not just a "Fossil Fuel snapshot"
So let me get this straight, ...with the MYRIAD of battery powered vehicles bursting into flames, burning down garages, homes and so much else, ....and with mandates LIMITING THE PERCENTAGE OF CHARGE of batteries, and battery products can be DURING SHIPPING, ...to avoid batteries from bursting into flames WHILE BEING SHIPPED IN PLANES, ....you want me to fly in one of these DEATH TRAPS?! NOT HAPPENING!
Incidents like the electrical fire during ground testing of Eviation's Alice highlight safety concerns with high-capacity batteries in aviation, potentially affecting public trust and emphasizing the need for more robust safety protocols
Because any one with half a brain has enough critical thinking to realize how dangerous battery powered planes are. So let me get this straight, ...with the MYRIAD of battery powered vehicles bursting into flames, burning down garages, homes and so much else, ....and with mandates LIMITING THE PERCENTAGE OF CHARGE of batteries, and battery products can be DURING SHIPPING, ...to avoid batteries from bursting into flames WHILE BEING SHIPPED IN PLANES, ....you want me to fly in one of these DEATH TRAPS?!

Is anyone else here a big fan of oil based fuel, and as excited to see developments of increasing efficiency and innovation from gas -powered engines as they are about electric planes?
If carbon emissions are reduced, yes! Hydrogen is an excellent option, assuming it can be sourced in a way that reduces carbon emissions (and there are technologies that can achieve this already!)
@@jennifernicoleprince You understand that it takes a lot of energy to crack the Water molecule, to isolate the Hydrogen right?!? Then you can also see that you could have just stored that energy in a battery and used it to power whatever device you needed it to. Not to mention that Hydrogen is dangerously explosive.
Agreed. When are they gonna learn that any music in an informative video is just annoyance. It's really frustrating when the content is interesting so you don't wanna just cut and run. worse when the muzak is louder than the dialogue
I think the Jet Age is about to get much better and more efficient and stay for a very long time until something extremely innovative comes into the game. I don't see electric planes making a huge change, maybe for personal use that's all.
Yes. Right now theres only same old struggle with electric motors as always. They are just dreaming & wasting their time by reshaping planes. It all suits the narratives and the modern post truth pseudoscience & in that sense the adventure is spoilt, as most people want to be excited by truth & reason with their science enthusiasm, not a load of lies.
I just left Heart this month, had been there for just over two years building the ITF and X1. Feels surreal stumbling on a documentary with older footage I haven't seen before especially with Benjamin (left before I started) who is the guy behind the VESC.
@@anonymoususer3561 I don't know enough about that to comment . There is sufficient data available though to suggest that radioactive substances cause all manner of serious health problems in human and animal beings . What risk is acceptable ? Personally I think policy decisions around such serious issues should be based on health safety without compromise . Respect the planet and its inhabitants . What blows me away is the power of the sun , wind , and water . We are leaping ahead in technology as fast as corporate interests allow .
I really hope this vision comes true soon. Look at the mountains of tires we throw every year. Look at the carbon emission road construction and tunnels produce. Look at the micro dust breaks produce. We will solve many problems with electric aviation.
It baffles me why so many companies keep bothering to develop electric flight. With current battery tech, there is NO airplane or boat that can have range to make it worth the effort. The more power you want to bring, the heavier the batteries and the bigger and bigger the plane or boat becomes. Think square-cube rule. I tuned-out after the first idiotic BS claim of 2 hours and 500km range. The Pipistrel Velis Electro is a CURRENT, gorgeous, well engineered little plane and they're at least honest enough to report that it has a best-case range of 45 minutes. Planes have to have a 30 minute reserve, meaning that you can only fly 15 minute missions. Until there's a battery tech with MUCH higher density, none of these will ever be anything but an expensive curiosity.
Hybrid ships are a thing. They have about a 25% fuel savings with battery electric propulsion and lower emissions. What you're really saying is that battery energy density needs to improve. The early Tesla Model S' had about a 246 Wh/kg battery. Likely experimental aircraft are testing with this grade of battery to keep costs low. Doubling this will double the range, given the same weight. Two battery manufacturers already have 500 Wh/kg batteries on the market for EVs. Their chemists are on target to have a 1,000 Wh/kg to market in 5 - 6 years.
You know I did have the same opinion while watching this documentary until I considered other aspects of this project. For example, the range and speed of conventional airplanes come at the cost of being even heavier. Airplanes today fly because they have enormously large fuel under their enormous fuel tank, which comes with its associated gadgets, which adds to the weight. Additionally, kerosene engines have heavy titanium and other sturdy components designed to withstand extreme heat, while electric motors produce less heat, allowing for the use of lighter materials cooled by flowing air. Unlike conventional airplane engines, electric vehicles recharge their fuel while in use, leaving a responsible amount of charge in their battery. On the other hand, kerosene engines simply turn fuel into smoke, leaving behind an empty tank at the end of the runway. Boy! Early pioneers did not have perfect engines or airframes, and progress cannot wait for perfection.
@MISTERLeSkid Did you not understand that the video is outdated and there is so much tech currently out there that wasn't even mentioned? Toroidal propellers... Electronic ducted fans (EDF) ... Hydroxy fueled engines and generators... Carbon fiber construction... Flexible plastic based solar panels the thickness of a credit card... and lightweight! Imagine a double lithium ion battery pack with carbon fiber shielding combined with LC supercapacitors... In-flight recharging with solar panels built into the upper side of the wings and fuselage... with an extra large cabin that contains a hydrogen balloon for additional lift and reduced weight... an EDF with hydrogen burning afterburner for faster speeds... toroidal propellers on wingtip engines for normal cruising... As much power as those tesla batteries provide, 3000 nautical miles range in a Learjet sized electric aircraft would be easy... while carrying at least 20 passengers. But they will likely keep it under 20. There are certain restrictions and regulations that need to be met before an airframe can be proven to be within acceptable limits before the FAA would allow for larger passenger loads. Hydrogen fuel cells would also have much greater ranges when you bring the hydroxy generator on board the aircraft... 1 liter of water generates 1,700 liters of hydrogen gas plus oxygen gas... A few hundred gallons of water could conceivably fly you around the world...
because batteries are getting better duh, they usually sure fail when the product they can create is not profitable enough.... what is this to do with the squared rule? there is no expotential relationship here, stop quoting concepts you don't understand
What a great documentary. It really shows up long established companies such as Boeing to be living in the past, trying to keep decades old designs current, and choked by their own big corporation beauracracies.
No, they are living in the reality, wich none of these guys are. In reality to fly to an airport 200 miles away, you need a range of 400 miles if the destination airport closes while you are in the air and have to return, Heart aimed for a 19 seater to avoid the regulations all other airplane manufacturers have to meet, a workaround to make it easy
Green Flight has Pipistrels as student planes, they fly for about 45 min on a charge and can never leave visual range of the airport, also the pilot/student can't weigh over 80kg each. Belive me, the fuel is the cheap part of getting a licence
According to the credits it's the real person. I could've sworn it was artificial intelligence. Though to be fair I haven't watched much of it yet and have the volume really low. I cannot stand artificial intelligence voiceovers. This guy did too good a job hah but I'm glad he's presumably a real person
Using hydrogen for mobile applications is simply insane. It's odorless, colorless, explosive, and its flames are invisible. As the smallest and simplest atom, it's incredibly difficult to contain. I am completely fine with stationary applications supplied by a pipeline but I don't want to go anywhere near something mobile that's powered by hydrogen.
Hydrogen in all forms is a con... Except perhaps for high energy industry like Steel making where it can be produced on site. However, even THAT can now be accomplished by "Straight Electricity"
The plane is made form carbon fiber a oil product and can't be recycled easily. The battery takes thousands of tons of mined ore to make and very difficult to recycle
Aviation batteries will want a very high energy density. As the batteries wear through cycling, they will need a new life in something else, such as marine ships or the utility grid power. There the batteries can have a 20+ year life before needing to be recycled. Once recycled the batteries are received as ore. Hammered into small bits and separated into components such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, steel, gold, copper, and plastics. Since it's a closed loop system, no pollutants are put into the air or sewage water.
Nobody wants to hear that. Say this in a stuffy old English accent, “ yes, yes, I’m so green, I’m way better than you are “ Something has happened to people’s minds, they don’t think about things, they just hear or see a headline and that’s what they go on.
Green, huh? CARBON fiber.. Come on, dude. Its right there in the bloody name. What are the batteries made from? Peach pits? Just dont bother with "green" as a hook.
As important as the environmental concerns are, there's also an enormous benefit that when short haul isn't using aviation fuel, it extends the life of the petroleum fuels that the long haul will continue to require unless and until another revolutionary power source/fuel source is brought to the fore.
49:58 LOL lower noise level, this creator have not hear a Electric motor ripping the air in to separate atoms with its carbonfibre props. damn electric motors are noisy with proppellers. thos are not better than a regular Cessna with a Rotax ICE engine! i am sick of all these LIES!
"Water" is essential for life. You will still drown if you're in "More" of it. Even DRINKING too much of it will kill you. Too much CO2 is a pollutant to Us, AND to plants.
you cannot beat the energy/weight ratio that JetA has with current or near future battery technology. Ask anyone with an Ecar how convenient tit is to take a road trip, or go further than 400 miles.
This would be something I could invest in. By the way talking about electric. How about having tool companies make the same kind of batteries for using on power tools rather than allowing all these tool companies to making batteries that can only be used on on a specific tool brand.
Every Airport is going to need their own nuclear powerplant or fusionplant to be able to charge that kind of batterys. cuz we dont even have power to keep our light on 24/7 in Sweden due to we dont have enough nuclear powerplants and to many windturbines and this we can blame the Green Party, who is received donation from Russia....
You are wrong. China OWE 90% of all wind industry in Sweden. If they get annoyed by Sweden of any reason, they just stop all wind turbines aka Albino palms, what the Sweden?
russia is a huge exporter of fossile fuels. They couldnt care less about "green energy". Whats missing in renewables is storgae and batteries make great strides and in not so distant future will be based on common materials and that will capture the volatile output of turbines and solar etc
Put a biofuel plant close to the airport, get rid of organic material to get methane that will burn, turn water into vapor to power turbines that will create electricity.
They will not even give enough to compensate for their own weight (and it's not regen, it is charging, re generative power would be if there was a downhill in the sky where the prop drove the engine)
Gasoline vehicles have over 60X higher rate of catching fire than electric cars in a crash. According to the National Transportation Safety Board. It's more newsworthy when EV's are on fire because it's a "man bites dog" story where gasoline cars catching on fire are a more common "dog bites man" story.
You're in an EV that crashes... The "Fire" starts in a minute or so... you have more minutes to escape. ICE vehicle? Broken fuel line, hot components, or a spark? You have seconds to escape. It may be easier for the Emergency Services? WHY? Because it will be burnt out before they arrive.
Coming from an aviation background i can understand why the push to develop electric propulsion aircraft, HOWEVER, one critical point about flying a plane on batteries vs fuel, is range and weight of batteries that comes to mind. A fuel powered aircraft fully fueled becomes lighter during its flight time as you burn off fuel , with the options of being able to climb to higher altitudes as you fly, which is an important safety factor when transporting very heavy payloads and flight planning . an electric storage battery on the other hand does not get any lighter as its energy capacity gets used up, meaning you need to fly lower altitudes even closer to ground based obstacles with greater risks of ground collisions (crashing) than the fuel powered aircraft which has vastly more effective range than an electric plane , and its the same with range on an electric car or Truck or Bus etc.I think it is safer to propel a ground based vehicle than an aircraft with electricity.
I literally hit just stopped the video right after the skyports guy said green rare travel. They might be trying to find more efficient way to travel. But until there is a major breakthrough with energy and energy storage. Travel will never be green unless it’s human powered. Lithium is not a viable option because of the damage it does to create it and it being to expensive to recycle. Fancy flying contraptions have been invented for decades. Yes even electric planes. But no new actual green technology.
You have to balance the manufacturing of an energy system against the efficency of using it. I don't think you have the parameters quite right here! Recycling of lithium and other battery materials is actually a very solvable problem.
This fellow explaining crosswind landings, doesn't seem to understand crabbing. There are two techniques to manage a crosswind landings: # 1 You keep the airplane aligned with the runway and dip the upwind wing so the sideslip matches the crosswind component of the wind until just before touchdown. or #2; You point the nose upwind enough to match the crosswind component, then quickly yaw to plane to align with the runway just before or at touchdown. With this plane you wouldn't want to use technique #1 all the way to the ground for fear of striking the pavement with the windward propeller. So you would want to set up your landing with wings-level crabbing, technique #2, until just before touchdown, then quickly yaw the plane to alignment with the runway. Hopefully the throttle response of these motors is quick and sensitive enough to do this quick-yaw gracefully. Crosswind landing conditions are always quite turbulent. I would be hesitant to fly this airplane when landing in turbulent conditions may be necessary. Unless it is possible to stop the two-bladed propellers in the horizontal position, they are in danger of ground strike on any landing. Some built-in push-button mechanism would surely be necessary so pilot can stop them momentarily for a few seconds until the plane is firmly down on the runway. I kinda think this concept, though it improves energy efficiency somewhat, is not worth it in practical airplanes. The experimental efforts could have best been spent on controllable winglets. Just my humble opinion, thank you .
Really interesting stuff, would have been nice to try and quantify how much quieter some of these products were; in decibels or even percentages would have been good.
Very interesting video but a very misleading title. No mention of replacing long range jet aircraft with electric. Turboprop planes have commercial speeds of about 350 knots. Anybody want to fly an electric propeller plane from LA to Honolulu or Seattle to New York and take 8-9 hours to do it? This video made no mention of making an electric airliner that flies as fast as commercial jets do now. Long range aviation is all about getting there quicker not taking much longer. The exciting news about long range flights is the prototype supersonic jet being worked on now.
The biggest problem that electric powered transportation has been on board storage of energy that is to be used to power the vehicle. The battery technology the developers found to be the most applicable were to heavy and to large to give the range for practical use. The focus has been to reduce the weight while the energy density is increased that improves the range or duration to compete with fossil fuel modes of transportation. A man by the name of Stanley Mayer researching HHO technology from water took it to another level when he discovered that frequency and resonance was the key for using water for fuel in internal combustion engines (ICE) He developed a fuel injector that used water for the fuel supplied and injected a HHO mixture aka Browns gas directly into the combustion chamber of a four stroke engine in real time ! During the research he discovered not only the key to eliminating the volatile Browns gas drawback but also the high pressure fuel tank required to store the Hydrogen in liquid form. A bonus of his research he found that the two elements of water are neutral in their separate states not positive or negative. By passing through a non conductive tube that have copper induction coils out side the tubes entire length and adding plasma to the HHO the plasma attaches to the two neutral elements and generates large amounts of electrical current ! So much current that applied to a EV all you need for a battery in a closed loop system is enough to start the genset for continuous use, no refueling required to turn your props or wheels or fans! No emissions at all ! it can be applied every where electricity is needed like a cabin in the woods either open loop for heating and cooking with gas and the electricity to light up or charge your phone only topping off the water tank when low. Do you think with China wanting global control of everything manufactured and mined how long before they would want you to become commies and slaves to be used and abused ? What Stanley wanted for his work was recognition, he was giving it to manas a gift. What he received for his gift was death by poison after turning down an offer in billions to sell all his runs on water technology.
Regarding the Volocopter -- feel free to look into the earlier efforts of one Paul Moller of Davis, California, USA. There are a number of RUclips videos. If only today's computers and electric propulsion had been available to him!
Yeah, the flying car and fusion power has always been around the corner, atleast since the 50's, and we are not any closer today... Just as electric airplanes just need the next battery revolution to be viable...
In EV's if you use the cabin heater or defrost modes, in very cold sub freezing winter conditions, especially while driving up steep hills or mountains, the EV range only 40% what it is in warm spring or winter dry sunny weather conditions where you do not need to use cabin heating, where heat seating sufficient and where the window does not fog over with moisture from the passenger breathing or saturated cold air like it can regularly do in cold winter conditions forming frost or opaque dew droplets on the front window obscuring view unless energy intensive defrost heating and dehumidifier modes are used, which also runs the AC pump energy heavy compressor + resistance heater or heat pumps.
5:38 shifting gears? Not dying of cold in the winter in your car is also a big benefit of combustion engine above electrical motor and so is it's "noise".
I think if I was going to build an aircraft from scratch I would probably be a pilot and aeronautical engineer first. As a pilot for 24 years, I cringe at the thought of the wingtip mounted motors on the EVAITION. In the event of a wing mounted motor / propeller failure at a high power setting and high angle of attack would cause an immediate loss of control due to asymmetrical thrust. Your theory of eliminating a crab on final bc the engines are wingtip mounted is just pure ignorance of why the aircraft is in a crab to begin with. I’d give it a 100% chance of a prop strike on a gusty crosswind landing. And a 0% chance of ever being certified.
Actually a large part of the infrastructure to charge the planes is already in existence. Near every marina has 40 to 50 amp plugs for plugging in their yacht. Adapt the plane to what exists.
Vancouver already has a healthy harbour plane base on Burrard Inlet. Theybare easily close enough to put in the infrastructure and currently well motivated.
Very interesting. I had probably heard of most of them but forgotten. The 19 seat plane could be significant. We have a route here in Denmark between Aalborg and Copenhagen that's a little over 200km that might be ideal for it with very strong recharge stations at both ends. And I've also had the vision that a seaplane can be done without significant compromise to performance. They don't have to look goofy and be slow to land on water. Even a high speed long range jet plane could land on water.
They have already given up on the fully electric plane and are now looking at different hybrids with jet engines instead. to fly 200km, the plane need to have a range of 400km in case it needs to turn around/reroute to an alternative airfield
@@someoneelse7629 heart aerospace? that's sloppy. 400km range (to empty) should be very doable with existing tech. it does require potent power supplies at both ends of course but that's also doable. let's say a few megawatt should do. typical turn around is at least 20 minutes and they only need 200km refill. I will have to have a chat with these slackers :)
Aviation produces 2% of CO2. Transportation as a whole produces 12%. Heat and electricity produce 32%. Manufacturing and construction produces 13% and agriculture 12%. Aviation CO2 is like the size of flea in a world of elephants.🤣🤣
The interesting thing is that when you have the electric plane in the air a old jet striped of internal components becomes a wind tunnel of sorts as the plane soars through the air wind can be transferred to more direct energy to the motors. Also nothing gets sliced in rotors.

The initial argument was that this percentage would grow to 20 by 2050, thus making this area important. You should have caught that, shouldn’t you?
By 2050 the world population will have stagnated, if not declined, go look that up! So invalid argument!
And that kind of reasoning is the reason nothing changes.

@@preacherno Bootlicker
One of the biggest issues I see with electrically powered aircraft is the fact that the battery doesn’t get any lighter as it discharges. In a hydrocarbon fueled plane, as the flight progress and fuel is burned off, the aircraft lightens and becomes somewhat more efficient. With batteries, you expend as much energy dragging them along when fully charged as you do when they’ve discharged. And as for commercial travel, turnaround time must be considered - pumping fuel into tanks is a quick operation. With current (no pun intended) technology, recharging a large battery is much less so.
Swappable batteries, perhaps? Especially if they're ejectable in case of fire
You can't swap them mid-flight.
@@fr57ujf But you *can* do it in airport, as passengers and cargo leave the airplane.
Yes, but the point was that, with liquid fuel, the plane gets lighter the longer the flight lasts. This decreases the load and increases the average fuel efficiency of the flight. With batteries, you have to carry the same weight throughout the flight.
The only problem with an electric aircraft is low energy to weigh of batteries. But even so, they are viable for short distance travel.
That travel distance will grow as batteries improve. It's the right time now to start developing the aircrafts, so we have them to put those improved batteries in.
It's odd how non-engeneers are so quick at finding problems, even inventing them, but so unwilling to take the next step and solve them!
Thanks!
Come on folks, what did they say about SpaceX? And now it's the norm! Engineering is super hard yet we continue to do amazing things EVERY SINGLE DAY. This will work sooner or later if we keep pushing forward!
cheers!
SpaceX is smart enough to use pure fossil fuels to achieve full reusability of their rockets & drastically reduce the cost of sending payloads to space. When batteries are depleted of their energy, they still weigh exactly the same. Rockets must lighten their load by burning fuel to reach orbit. Mitch, Australia.
You are delusional with this statement. You can’t call a monopoly a norm, at the moment there is no other option than using SpaceX since NASA gave up because of costs and lack of innovation. Surely it’s easier to use an option instead of throwing money into a pit and burn it, especially if the governmental funding got reduced year by year after the space shuttle disasters. So don’t call SpaceX a norm when there is just no alternative at the moment, at least none that would be financially an option to choose from.
It's not that it's not great, its fabulous..but they need to remove all of the special training and focus on how it servers the trillions of cars on the road.. short range.. the goals they push and the reasons do not serve any reasonable purpose..

Wow you eat at McDonald's, no wonder you think we should have flying cars.
I remember sitting on an aircraft in 2018. In the seat pocket there was a airline-published magazine where their CEO put flight shaming down by writing (my summary): "yes- flying on fossil fuel is bad, but what can we do? It will be at least 50-60 years before we see anything fly on electric engines".
I think about that article a lot, when seeing the evolution like in this video
They were talking about long range aviation. There is very little hope to electrify that sector anytime soon. We are, at least, a factor of ten away in terms of power density and weight requirements.
I admire the young inventors of our time. They could potentially provide an alternative to the large corporations that exploit us. A jet engine is heavy mainly because it includes sturdy metals to withstand extreme heat. Electric motors also generate heat, but not as much as engines, allowing us to use materials that can tolerate heat while remaining light. Although the battery may drain quickly, once the motor starts, it can recharge itself while in use. Even though they may have limited range and speed, it doesn't matter since we are aiming for a budget airline experience, not to mention their potential for future improvement. If there are any obstacles to this development, they would be our fixed mindset and corrupt politicians with their cozy relationships with big corporations.
Hats off to these young engineers!
The so called alternative to hug corps . Is a complete falicy they co troll the agencies that regulate airspace and standards as soon as they see ita profitable big corps will g ake over like they always do .
It can recharge itself while in use? I'm not sure I understand what you're saying there.

Greed is good if it motivates people to accomplish great things and work productively. I am referring to the greed of an honest hard working and hard thinking worker. Greed of a lazy person who dishonestly tries to trick or cheat people out of their money to get what they want is evil. Expecting the government to take care of you is wrong. You should be helping the government to perform its necessary duties by earning good money and paying a lot of taxes and spreading the wealth by being generous to others who are working their way through school or performing low skilled service jobs.

Love to see what comes in what’s left of my lifetime.
The greatest savings potential is overlooked in the video:
1. Lower cruising speed is much more energy efficient. Long-distance propeller aircraft of the 1940s were much more fuel efficient than modern jet aircraft because of the lower speed.
2. The propeller is still far from maximum efficiency.
3. Wake turbulence: Instead of putting the engines at the wing tips, you can also do this with the fuselage. Such concepts already existed in the 1940s. This reduces the bending load on the wing and it is easier to build because it has an almost constant thickness over its length. Even biplanes would be conceivable with 2 fuselages on each end. This would create a large passenger capacity with the same aircraft width which limits the use of today's runways. The lower travel speed and thus longer travel time is compensated by the fact that the increased volume gives passengers more space and therefore more comfort, e.g. for good sleeping accommodations. This means that the flight does not become a waste of time for the passengers.
To see that engine test work made me feel hope for humanity, thats a massive load test and it handled it .

The battery fire concerns all go away when you start talking about Sodium Ion batteries. They are ALMOST caught up with Li-ion AND improving FASTER, so there is every chance they will soon be the battery of choice. They are cheaper to produce, last for more cycles, And they don't catch fire!
They never existed! The claims about EV fires is 90% fake. EV cars are 20 to 40 times LESS common than fossil engine fires. This reality is from Insurance company records.
Most of the fires you see are early Hybrid vehicles. BMW for instance have more vehicle fires in their fossil cars in the UK, in one year than World wide EV fires in the last 15 years! They have faulty plastic EGR valves that catch fire and burn the vehicle to the ground.
Sodium is only good for stationary storage or tiny cars. Their energy density is tiny

Norway IS the perfect proving ground for this new tech. 400 or 500 kilometer range?

37:10 BS. The difference between a fuel fire and a battery fire is that there is a possibility to extinguish a fuel fire. You can even dump the fuel, turn on the extinguishers and glide the plane towards the ground. NOTHING can stop a lithium battery fire. When electric cars catch fire, they have to let it burn itself out. You can do several things to stop a fire on a modern airplane. If you catch fire in an electric plane mid flight, you can either jump off quickly, or you can crash and burn. No 3rd alternative.
Sctually, a group in Sweden (IIRC) has figured out how to put out a fire in an auto battery pack. They flood it with super cooled, maximally salty brine. I've seen the videos. It actually works! Unfortunately that isn't going to help you in that 19 pax e-plane at cruise altitude.
Water can put out a lithium battery fire
@@TacticalLulu Water + Lithium = fire...
@@Roy_Godiksen yes. And if a lithium battery is in a thermal runaway condition, water is the most practical way to cool it while extinguishing the flames. Were you expecting the battery to still be usable after the fire?
@TacticalLulu From all the world wide examples of the firefighters spraying water on a burning electric car, only to give up and focus on containing the fire to the vehicle. When water contacts the lithium, you get a runaway chemical reaction. Feeding water to a fire of the level will potentially add "fuel to the fire" as the next cells now are damaged by the heat, and gets into contact with more water, starting another out of control burn.

Solar powered air ships will make a comeback. They are ideal for long trips and can land where jets can't.

Well, if the electricity comes via "The Sun" and the "Generation equipment" takes less energy ("Emissions") to build (ONE time) that the Fossil fuel collection and refinement plant... plus the CONTINUOUS energy to run that plant (Which itself generates emissions when produced.... get the idea?) Then your opinion isn't really valid.
The object isn't "ELIMINATION", it's reduction. the base energy to produce the systems, THEN elimination of the emissions from production of the energy required for daily use.

We are leaping ahead in technology as fast as corporate interests allow .
I've been flying since the 70's but I'd become a rated seaplane pilot if i could get my hands on this plane. I'd like to fly it from Norway to Idaho.
When I was a kid we made airplanes run on rubber band power.
If it could only be scaled...
I really hope this vision comes true soon. Look at the mountains of tires we throw every year. Look at the carbon emission road construction and tunnels produce. Look at the micro dust breaks produce. We will solve many problems with electric aviation.
It baffles me why so many companies keep bothering to develop electric flight. With current battery tech, there is NO airplane or boat that can have range to make it worth the effort. The more power you want to bring, the heavier the batteries and the bigger and bigger the plane or boat becomes. Think square-cube rule. I tuned-out after the first idiotic BS claim of 2 hours and 500km range. The Pipistrel Velis Electro is a CURRENT, gorgeous, well engineered little plane and they're at least honest enough to report that it has a best-case range of 45 minutes. Planes have to have a 30 minute reserve, meaning that you can only fly 15 minute missions. Until there's a battery tech with MUCH higher density, none of these will ever be anything but an expensive curiosity.
Hybrid ships are a thing. They have about a 25% fuel savings with battery electric propulsion and lower emissions. What you're really saying is that battery energy density needs to improve. The early Tesla Model S' had about a 246 Wh/kg battery. Likely experimental aircraft are testing with this grade of battery to keep costs low. Doubling this will double the range, given the same weight. Two battery manufacturers already have 500 Wh/kg batteries on the market for EVs. Their chemists are on target to have a 1,000 Wh/kg to market in 5 - 6 years.
classic naysayer. If it was for people like you, we would still be living caves
You know I did have the same opinion while watching this documentary until I considered other aspects of this project. For example, the range and speed of conventional airplanes come at the cost of being even heavier. Airplanes today fly because they have enormously large fuel under their enormous fuel tank, which comes with its associated gadgets, which adds to the weight. Additionally, kerosene engines have heavy titanium and other sturdy components designed to withstand extreme heat, while electric motors produce less heat, allowing for the use of lighter materials cooled by flowing air. Unlike conventional airplane engines, electric vehicles recharge their fuel while in use, leaving a responsible amount of charge in their battery. On the other hand, kerosene engines simply turn fuel into smoke, leaving behind an empty tank at the end of the runway. Boy! Early pioneers did not have perfect engines or airframes, and progress cannot wait for perfection.
@MISTERLeSkid
Did you not understand that the video is outdated and there is so much tech currently out there that wasn't even mentioned?
Toroidal propellers...
Electronic ducted fans (EDF) ...
Hydroxy fueled engines and generators...
Carbon fiber construction...
Flexible plastic based solar panels the thickness of a credit card... and lightweight!
Imagine a double lithium ion battery pack with carbon fiber shielding combined with LC supercapacitors... In-flight recharging with solar panels built into the upper side of the wings and fuselage... with an extra large cabin that contains a hydrogen balloon for additional lift and reduced weight... an EDF with hydrogen burning afterburner for faster speeds... toroidal propellers on wingtip engines for normal cruising...
As much power as those tesla batteries provide, 3000 nautical miles range in a Learjet sized electric aircraft would be easy... while carrying at least 20 passengers.
But they will likely keep it under 20. There are certain restrictions and regulations that need to be met before an airframe can be proven to be within acceptable limits before the FAA would allow for larger passenger loads.
Hydrogen fuel cells would also have much greater ranges when you bring the hydroxy generator on board the aircraft... 1 liter of water generates 1,700 liters of hydrogen gas plus oxygen gas...
A few hundred gallons of water could conceivably fly you around the world...
because batteries are getting better duh, they usually sure fail when the product they can create is not profitable enough.... what is this to do with the squared rule? there is no expotential relationship here, stop quoting concepts you don't understand
Wow!!! This is so cool!
What a great documentary. It really shows up long established companies such as Boeing to be living in the past, trying to keep decades old designs current, and choked by their own big corporation beauracracies.
Boy! You telling me!
No, they are living in the reality, wich none of these guys are.
In reality to fly to an airport 200 miles away, you need a range of 400 miles if the destination airport closes while you are in the air and have to return, Heart aimed for a 19 seater to avoid the regulations all other airplane manufacturers have to meet, a workaround to make it easy
Great to see such an awe inspiring engineering.
Great hopes and dreams are still very much turning the world forward.
As a poor aspiring private pilot, $24 sounds great. I can't afford to get my license because I can't afford to pay $750 for an hour of flying time
Green Flight has Pipistrels as student planes, they fly for about 45 min on a charge and can never leave visual range of the airport, also the pilot/student can't weigh over 80kg each.
Belive me, the fuel is the cheap part of getting a licence
Good luck 👍
Is this narrated by Patrick Stewart or was his voice stolen from an AI??
It is Patrick Stewart see credits at the end.
According to the credits it's the real person. I could've sworn it was artificial intelligence. Though to be fair I haven't watched much of it yet and have the volume really low. I cannot stand artificial intelligence voiceovers. This guy did too good a job hah but I'm glad he's presumably a real person
Excelente documental para comprebder el avance de la ingeniería en la sociedad contemporánea. Mi nombre es

Using hydrogen for mobile applications is simply insane. It's odorless, colorless, explosive, and its flames are invisible. As the smallest and simplest atom, it's incredibly difficult to contain. I am completely fine with stationary applications supplied by a pipeline but I don't want to go anywhere near something mobile that's powered by hydrogen.
Hydrogen in all forms is a con... Except perhaps for high energy industry like Steel making where it can be produced on site.
However, even THAT can now be accomplished by "Straight Electricity"
It worked well for Hindenurg, just not as fuel.... or a few seconds it worked as fuel too...
High-quality video.
The plane is made form carbon fiber a oil product and can't be recycled easily. The battery takes thousands of tons of mined ore to make and very difficult to recycle
Please do not annoy us with facts, reality.
Battery recycling is at 97% efficiency
Aviation batteries will want a very high energy density. As the batteries wear through cycling, they will need a new life in something else, such as marine ships or the utility grid power. There the batteries can have a 20+ year life before needing to be recycled. Once recycled the batteries are received as ore. Hammered into small bits and separated into components such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, steel, gold, copper, and plastics. Since it's a closed loop system, no pollutants are put into the air or sewage water.
You've got to be American 😂
Nobody wants to hear that. Say this in a stuffy old English accent, “ yes, yes, I’m so green, I’m way better than you are “ Something has happened to people’s minds, they don’t think about things, they just hear or see a headline and that’s what they go on.
Excellent
Green, huh?
CARBON fiber..
Come on, dude.
Its right there in the bloody name.
What are the batteries made from?
Peach pits?
Just dont bother with "green" as a hook.
Carbon that is in carbon fiber is carbon that is not in a gaseous state in the atmosphere.
As important as the environmental concerns are, there's also an enormous benefit that when short haul isn't using aviation fuel, it extends the life of the petroleum fuels that the long haul will continue to require unless and until another revolutionary power source/fuel source is brought to the fore.
49:58 LOL lower noise level, this creator have not hear a Electric motor ripping the air in to separate atoms with its carbonfibre props. damn electric motors are noisy with proppellers. thos are not better than a regular Cessna with a Rotax ICE engine! i am sick of all these LIES!
Absolutely true.90%+ Noise comes from the propellers or’the high speed turbine, not from the engines themselves
Jet engins are noisy. But combustion engines doesn't have to be.
23:44 OMG I'm so excited, The scientist of the future connected a battery, to an electric motor. What's going to happen ?? Truly breakthrough tech. 🤗🤗
C)2 is NOT a ‘pollutant’; it’s essential to all life on Earth. More CO2 means more plant life, and a greener world.
"Water" is essential for life.
You will still drown if you're in "More" of it.
Even DRINKING too much of it will kill you.
Too much CO2 is a pollutant to Us, AND to plants.
And you can breathe the oxygen they produce.
👋👋👋👋👋👋👋THE FUTURE IS NOIW...‼‼‼‼🤜🤛👍👍👍
you cannot beat the energy/weight ratio that JetA has with current or near future battery technology. Ask anyone with an Ecar how convenient tit is to take a road trip, or go further than 400 miles.
This would be something I could invest in. By the way talking about electric. How about having tool companies make the same kind of batteries for using on power tools rather than allowing all these tool companies to making batteries that can only be used on on a specific tool brand.
Every Airport is going to need their own nuclear powerplant or fusionplant to be able to charge that kind of batterys. cuz we dont even have power to keep our light on 24/7 in Sweden due to we dont have enough nuclear powerplants and to many windturbines and this we can blame the Green Party, who is received donation from Russia....
Never enough wind turbines.
You are wrong.
China OWE 90% of all wind industry in Sweden.
If they get annoyed by Sweden of any reason, they just stop all wind turbines aka Albino palms, what the Sweden?
russia is a huge exporter of fossile fuels. They couldnt care less about "green energy". Whats missing in renewables is storgae and batteries make great strides and in not so distant future will be based on common materials and that will capture the volatile output of turbines and solar etc
TRUTH!
Put a biofuel plant close to the airport, get rid of organic material to get methane that will burn, turn water into vapor to power turbines that will create electricity.
Are you able to add solar panels to assist with the Regen of the batteries during flight?
They will not even give enough to compensate for their own weight (and it's not regen, it is charging, re generative power would be if there was a downhill in the sky where the prop drove the engine)
Tell that to all the people with electric car fires after crashing
Gasoline vehicles have over 60X higher rate of catching fire than electric cars in a crash. According to the National Transportation Safety Board. It's more newsworthy when EV's are on fire because it's a "man bites dog" story where gasoline cars catching on fire are a more common "dog bites man" story.
You're in an EV that crashes... The "Fire" starts in a minute or so... you have more minutes to escape.
ICE vehicle? Broken fuel line, hot components, or a spark? You have seconds to escape.
It may be easier for the Emergency Services? WHY? Because it will be burnt out before they arrive.
Coming from an aviation background i can understand why the push to develop electric propulsion aircraft, HOWEVER, one critical point about flying a plane on batteries vs fuel, is range and weight of batteries that comes to mind. A fuel powered aircraft fully fueled becomes lighter during its flight time as you burn off fuel , with the options of being able to climb to higher altitudes as you fly, which is an important safety factor when transporting very heavy payloads and flight planning . an electric storage battery on the other hand does not get any lighter as its energy capacity gets used up, meaning you need to fly lower altitudes even closer to ground based obstacles with greater risks of ground collisions (crashing) than the fuel powered aircraft which has vastly more effective range than an electric plane , and its the same with range on an electric car or Truck or Bus etc.I think it is safer to propel a ground based vehicle than an aircraft with electricity.
I literally hit just stopped the video right after the skyports guy said green rare travel. They might be trying to find more efficient way to travel. But until there is a major breakthrough with energy and energy storage. Travel will never be green unless it’s human powered. Lithium is not a viable option because of the damage it does to create it and it being to expensive to recycle. Fancy flying contraptions have been invented for decades. Yes even electric planes. But no new actual green technology.
You have to balance the manufacturing of an energy system against the efficency of using it.
I don't think you have the parameters quite right here!
Recycling of lithium and other battery materials is actually a very solvable problem.
This fellow explaining crosswind landings, doesn't seem to understand crabbing. There are two techniques to manage a crosswind landings:
# 1 You keep the airplane aligned with the runway and dip the upwind wing so the sideslip matches the crosswind component of the wind until just before touchdown. or
#2; You point the nose upwind enough to match the crosswind component, then quickly yaw to plane to align with the runway just before or at touchdown.
With this plane you wouldn't want to use technique #1 all the way to the ground for fear of striking the pavement with the windward propeller. So you would want to set up your landing with wings-level crabbing, technique #2, until just before touchdown, then quickly yaw the plane to alignment with the runway. Hopefully the throttle response of these motors is quick and sensitive enough to do this quick-yaw gracefully.
Crosswind landing conditions are always quite turbulent. I would be hesitant to fly this airplane when landing in turbulent conditions may be necessary. Unless it is possible to stop the two-bladed propellers in the horizontal position, they are in danger of ground strike on any landing. Some built-in push-button mechanism would surely be necessary so pilot can stop them momentarily for a few seconds until the plane is firmly down on the runway.
I kinda think this concept, though it improves energy efficiency somewhat, is not worth it in practical airplanes. The experimental efforts could have best been spent on controllable winglets.
Just my humble opinion, thank you .
Really interesting stuff, would have been nice to try and quantify how much quieter some of these products were; in decibels or even percentages would have been good.
Very interesting video but a very misleading title. No mention of replacing long range jet aircraft with electric. Turboprop planes have commercial speeds of about 350 knots. Anybody want to fly an electric propeller plane from LA to Honolulu or Seattle to New York and take 8-9 hours to do it? This video made no mention of making an electric airliner that flies as fast as commercial jets do now. Long range aviation is all about getting there quicker not taking much longer. The exciting news about long range flights is the prototype supersonic jet being worked on now.
I love narrator Patrick Stewart and I am a Trekkie ❤❤❤
A very exciting commentary I loved it jt makes me wish I was lifted in that way
The biggest problem that electric powered transportation has been on board storage of energy that is to be used to power the vehicle. The battery technology the developers found to be the most applicable were to heavy and to large to give the range for practical use. The focus has been to reduce the weight while the energy density is increased that improves the range or duration to compete with fossil fuel modes of transportation. A man by the name of Stanley Mayer researching HHO technology from water took it to another level when he discovered that frequency and resonance was the key for using water for fuel in internal combustion engines (ICE) He developed a fuel injector that used water for the fuel supplied and injected a HHO mixture aka Browns gas directly into the combustion chamber of a four stroke engine in real time ! During the research he discovered not only the key to eliminating the volatile Browns gas drawback but also the high pressure fuel tank required to store the Hydrogen in liquid form. A bonus of his research he found that the two elements of water are neutral in their separate states not positive or negative. By passing through a non conductive tube that have copper induction coils out side the tubes entire length and adding plasma to the HHO the plasma attaches to the two neutral elements and generates large amounts of electrical current ! So much current that applied to a EV all you need for a battery in a closed loop system is enough to start the genset for continuous use, no refueling required to turn your props or wheels or fans! No emissions at all ! it can be applied every where electricity is needed like a cabin in the woods either open loop for heating and cooking with gas and the electricity to light up or charge your phone only topping off the water tank when low. Do you think with China wanting global control of everything manufactured and mined how long before they would want you to become commies and slaves to be used and abused ? What Stanley wanted for his work was recognition, he was giving it to manas a gift. What he received for his gift was death by poison after turning down an offer in billions to sell all his runs on water technology.
Nothing like see the perspectives of the future narrated by professor X
We’ve got electric seaplanes in commercial operation now in Vancouver 🇨🇦
Come onn... blimps are overdue.
Patrick Stewart narrating 😍
Very inter
essing,
Regarding the Volocopter -- feel free to look into the earlier efforts of one Paul Moller of Davis, California, USA. There are a number of RUclips videos. If only today's computers and electric propulsion had been available to him!
Yeah, the flying car and fusion power has always been around the corner, atleast since the 50's, and we are not any closer today...
Just as electric airplanes just need the next battery revolution to be viable...
In EV's if you use the cabin heater or defrost modes, in very cold sub freezing winter conditions, especially while driving up steep hills or mountains, the EV range only 40% what it is in warm spring or winter dry sunny weather conditions where you do not need to use cabin heating, where heat seating sufficient and where the window does not fog over with moisture from the passenger breathing or saturated cold air like it can regularly do in cold winter conditions forming frost or opaque dew droplets on the front window obscuring view unless energy intensive defrost heating and dehumidifier modes are used, which also runs the AC pump energy heavy compressor + resistance heater or heat pumps.
5:38 shifting gears? Not dying of cold in the winter in your car is also a big benefit of combustion engine above electrical motor and so is it's "noise".
I think if I was going to build an aircraft from scratch I would probably be a pilot and aeronautical engineer first. As a pilot for 24 years, I cringe at the thought of the wingtip mounted motors on the EVAITION. In the event of a wing mounted motor / propeller failure at a high power setting and high angle of attack would cause an immediate loss of control due to asymmetrical thrust. Your theory of eliminating a crab on final bc the engines are wingtip mounted is just pure ignorance of why the aircraft is in a crab to begin with. I’d give it a 100% chance of a prop strike on a gusty crosswind landing. And a 0% chance of ever being certified.
Imagine being at 10,000 feet and your battery catches fire or explodes. We need more reliable and safer batteries first.
Imagine if the battery in the vibrater up your auntie caught fire... imagine😅😅
Love seeing Ubuntu in their screen :D
The sooner the better air private drones getting around the country faster and safer 😮😊😮😅😊😅😮
Actually a large part of the infrastructure to charge the planes is already in existence. Near every marina has 40 to 50 amp plugs for plugging in their yacht. Adapt the plane to what exists.
Vancouver already has a healthy harbour plane base on Burrard Inlet. Theybare easily close enough to put in the infrastructure and currently well motivated.
Norway gets 95 percent of its power from Hydropower. It is one of the few places where gas-powered cars make no sense, but electric vehicles do.
Very interesting. I had probably heard of most of them but forgotten. The 19 seat plane could be significant. We have a route here in Denmark between Aalborg and Copenhagen that's a little over 200km that might be ideal for it with very strong recharge stations at both ends. And I've also had the vision that a seaplane can be done without significant compromise to performance. They don't have to look goofy and be slow to land on water. Even a high speed long range jet plane could land on water.
They have already given up on the fully electric plane and are now looking at different hybrids with jet engines instead. to fly 200km, the plane need to have a range of 400km in case it needs to turn around/reroute to an alternative airfield
@@someoneelse7629 heart aerospace? that's sloppy. 400km range (to empty) should be very doable with existing tech. it does require potent power supplies at both ends of course but that's also doable. let's say a few megawatt should do. typical turn around is at least 20 minutes and they only need 200km refill. I will have to have a chat with these slackers :)
thanks great doc
For domistic/short flights, use motors to take off, then glide to your destination, and use motors, if needed, for landing
Aviation produces 2% of CO2. Transportation as a whole produces 12%. Heat and electricity produce 32%. Manufacturing and construction produces 13% and agriculture 12%. Aviation CO2 is like the size of flea in a world of elephants.🤣🤣
The interesting thing is that when you have the electric plane in the air a old jet striped of internal components becomes a wind tunnel of sorts as the plane soars through the air wind can be transferred to more direct energy to the motors. Also nothing gets sliced in rotors.
Can u change the pitch of propeller so During cruise u can do re gen on 2 motors and 2 keeping it in air
This is the future!
What we need is first contact with the Vulcans.🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖
