In June 2020, the Pipistrel Velis Electro, a two-seater electric aircraft made in Slovenia, was certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency as the world's first fully certified electric aircraft. This milestone marked a significant step towards cleaner air travel, showcasing a growing interest in electric aircraft reliability. While electric planes like the Velis Electro are leading the way in sustainable flight, challenges persist in developing alternative fuels for larger aircraft and the political will to drive environmental change in the aviation industry. Despite the industry's efforts to reduce emissions, the demand for air transport continues to grow, posing a threat to the environment. Electric planes currently have limited range capabilities, with most being used for short flights. However, companies like Eviation and Elysian Aircraft are working on expanding the range and capacity of electric aircraft to make them viable for commercial use. With ongoing advancements in electric aviation, the future holds promise for sustainable air travel and reduced carbon emissions, paving the way for a greener aviation sector.
