And electric aircraft could be launched by 2030.
The main obstacle to large electric airliners so far is the fact that the extra power electric motors must exert to produce enough lift makes battery packs prohibitively heavy.
"Zero-emissions commercial aircraft are the future, and Wright is focused on delivering on the promise," Engler explained."Wright is excited to begin testing of our 2 MW electric powertrain and preparing for flight qualification in the near future.", Wright explains that its first single-aisle aircraft will be a 186-seat airliner with an 800-mile range. It will also feature several of its proprietary motors on each wing for redundancy purposes, as well as for stability.
