Airbus Helicopters has started trials of a backup electric propulsion system on the H130, which serves as the company’s flight laboratory. The project, which is supported by the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC), aims to improve the flight safety of single-engine helicopters in the event of a power failure.
Fortunately, more and more electric cars are on the roads, and slowly electric propulsion is starting to appear in aircraft manufacturing, moreover, the demand for this is growing internationally. If some problems can be solved, electric propulsion can radically transform aviation.
