Commercial aviation is struggling to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, with sustainable aviation fuel production lagging. Dutch startup Elysian plans to disrupt the industry with its fully electric regional aircraft, the E9X, aiming to reduce emissions by 90% and fly commercially by 2030. Contrary to industry beliefs, Elysian's design challenges battery technology constraints, placing batteries in the wings and incorporating unique features like landing gear in the wings and a reserve energy system. The collaboration with Delft University of Technology ensures cutting-edge innovation while maintaining compatibility with existing airport infrastructure. Despite the need for longer charging times, Elysian anticipates interest from regional and commuter airlines seeking sustainable solutions. The E9X promises a quieter, more passenger-friendly flight experience, potentially benefiting underserved airfields and addressing current travel challenges.
