Industry experts and airlines are also trying to improve the environmental credentials of air travel and reduce their carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"has-text-color has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The electric-powered flight will not only make the act of flying cheaper. It will revolutionize how the aeronautics industry impacts the global environment. According to recent studies, each year aeroplanes release around 500 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, representing a significant contribution to global warming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"has-text-color has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">These electric-powered aircraft will burn no fuel and\nemit zero emissions. Instead, the plane will use an all-electric motor powered\nby a single battery. In 2030, you will most likely be able to buy a ticket for\na flight on an electric aeroplane capable of commuting lot more passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"has-text-color has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not a surprise that other aviation companies showing a significant interest in electric aircraft. Eviation Aircraft an Israeli aviation company also stated, that US carrier Cape Air is going to be their first customer for its electric aeroplane called Dubbed Alice in this year&#8217;s Paris Air Show.
