This episode covers how to create highly efficient and reliable planes by converting to electric propulsion with optional hydrogen fuel cells. Learn about transforming today’s conventional aircraft into cleaner, more efficient electric aircraft. The aviation industry wants alternatives that deliver lower fuel and maintenance costs and greater reliability. Retrofitting existing planes with electric propulsion can virtually eliminate fuel costs, reducing total operating costs up to 40% and even higher, thanks also to much lower maintenance requirements and higher reliability. Battery electric aircraft can bring those benefits in the short term and optional hydrogen systems can be added in the future to provide extended range. Learn how aircraft to EV conversions provide quick deployment and high return on investment without waiting years for new airframes.
