Hugues Duval Flying Electric Plane
This record speed with electric plane is getting much attention in the electric airplane community which is more focused on range than speed. With growing interest in improving the designs and development in electric planes, the aviation industry might just be taking baby-steps to ensure eco-friendly travel. The aviation technology is being assisted by the improvements in battery technologies which allow longer lasting batteries which are lightweight at the same time. Watch the video [French] -
