The rim-less electric motor promises to offer similar performance figures when compared to its fossil-fuelled counterparts.
An electric jet engine is silently taking flight in the suburbs of Prince Edward Island in North America that promises to deliver similar performance to its fossil-fuelled counterparts.
Canada-based Duxion Motors has successfully completed the ground test of its patented eJet Motor, which, according to it, is “poised to make high-speed electric aviation a reality,” said its website. The ground tests with a scaled prototype included both low-speed and high-speed testing.
According to its founders, the automobile sector has made significant progress toward sustainable transportation, whereas the aviation industry has lagged. One of the key factors contributing to this gap is a lack of high-power, lightweight electric propulsion, which it aims to fulfill.
