The Pelican Cargo aircraft from Pyko could make freight transport easier, with a range of up to 321 kilometres on a single charge, and the manufacturer promises it will be faster and cheaper than traditional ground and air transport.

Safety and operational issues for electric aircraft

  • Reading Time:8Minutes

Safety and reliability are crucial considerations in the design and operation of any aircraft, and electric aircraft are no exception. Electric aircraft present unique challenges in terms of safety and reliability due to their reliance on electric propulsion systems, which are different from the fossil fuel-based systems used in traditional aircraft.

What developments have been made in electric aviation in recent years ?

  • Reading Time:5Minutes

Electric aircraft, also known as e-aircraft, are aircraft powered by electric motors instead of conventional fossil fuels. These aircraft have received increasing attention in recent years due to concerns about the environmental impact of aviation and the need to reduce carbon emissions. In this article we will look at developments in electric aircraft in recent years.

Turbo-generator hybrid technology for aircraft

  • Reading Time:1Minute

For aircraft, the turbo generator provides on-the-fly charging of the batteries and thus enables much greater distances to be covered. Rolls-Royce’s Hungarian division employs more than 100 engineers and one of the key areas of current development is the development of technology for sustainable aviation, represented by electric, hybrid, hydrogen and SAF fuel technologies.
