EADS Rethinks the Way Planes Fly in their New All-Electric Aircraft DesignAt the 2011 Paris Air Show the aerospace giant EADS showcased an all-electric propulsion system for a commercial airliner that could be ready to fly in just 20 years. The plane, called the VoltAir, is a zero-emissions, high-density, battery-powered aircraft that rethinks the design of conventional commercial aircraft in order to allow for the swapping out of a emissions heavy jet engine for an earth-friendly battery system. The plane is powered by highly efficient superconducting electric motors which drive counter-rotating, shrouded propellers located at the rear of the plane....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/eads-rethinks-the-way-planes-fly-with-new-all-electric-aircraft-design/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
