When it comes to electric planes, the revolution must be certified. (From 2017)
, this new plane feels like a letdown. It’s not a new design, but a retrofit of a one-seat aerobatic flyer. It doesn’t have any solar panels, just batteries in its fuselage and wings. It doesn’t promise to transform mobility, like the vertical takeoff and landing But Borschberg didn’t design the Aero1 to elicit oohs and ahs. He made it to show that when it comes to developing practical, usable electric aircraft, you go with what’s most realistic.
Borschberg would know. Among Solar Impulse 2’s greatest challenges wasn’t making the 5,000-pound plane fly on electricity---that tech is generally familiar and reliable---but achieving the certifications that allowed him and fellow pilot Bertrand Piccard to fly over populated areas on its way around the globe. He says his new team at H55, which includes folks from Solar Impulse 2, is using the Aero1 to develop new technologies with those regulatory processes in mind.
