Global warming, carbon emissions, and their impact on the environment have raised the need for airlines to develop next-gen, fuel-efficient, and environmental-friendly aircrafts. According to the European Commission’s report, the airline industry emits 3.8% of EU greenhouse gases. Hydrogen-powered electric airplanes do not produce carbon dioxide and other harmful emissions. Thus, these airplanes are getting …
Solid-state batteries have the potential to revolutionise the electromobility market. Recent innovations have suggested that these batteries can offer 2.5 times the energy density of existing liquid electrolyte lithium-ion batteries whilst being lighter and safer with little degradation in performance from rapid charging. It is expected that within the next two decades, these types of …
