Siemens introduced the world's first commercial electric aircraft engine. The German company believes that polluting jet engines relatively soon leave in the past and will be replaced by environmentally friendly electric.





According to the company, the batteries are every year becoming more efficient, therefore, the future of commercial electric airplanes, you might say, is already predetermined. Currently, Siemens is working with Airbus, with which they are developing hybrid engines for commercial aircraft.

Siemens believe that the use of electric airplanes will allow not only to reduce the overall cost of their maintenance, and the cost of tickets, but will significantly reduce harm to the environment. In addition, the total cost of construction of the aircraft in this case will decrease by 12 percent.

According to company representatives, the new Siemens electric motor capable of producing up to five times more power compared to conventional. Although designed engine intended for light aircraft, its effectiveness is simply amazing. The weight of the engine is less than 50 kilograms, but it can create an electric range of up to 260 kW.

Are equipped with engines of the aircraft can lift into the air up to 100 passengers and up to two tons payload. On a similar plane with hybrid engines are now Siemens and Airbus. It is expected that commercial use of such car will arrive no later than 2035.published
