PDF (894k), Outline PDF (71k) CalCars' Technical Lead Ron Gremban's talk at the Third Annual Electric Airplane Symposium in San Carlos, CA on April 24, 2009, showing that practical electric and plug-in hybrid light airplanes should be possible, at a cost similar to that of a piston airplane, using current technology, including batteries. A Diesel plug-in hybrid could have near-gasoline performance, at least 30% better fuel economy, near-silent takeoffs and landings, and enhanced engine-out safety; while an electric airplane would have much lower performance until batteries improve, but also just 10-20% of the enormous fuel costs of flying on gasoline. |
