Also, cars, buses, and trucks are incorporating electric or hybrid-electric propulsion systems, reducing the pressure on hydrocarbons and lowering the costs of electrical components. The economies of scale necessitated by the automotive industry will help contain costs in the aviation sector as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe use of electric propulsion in airplanes is not a new phenomenon. However, it is only recently that it has taken off in a concrete manner with a viable commercial future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eElectric Flight Technology: Unfolding of a New Future\u003c\/em\u003e reviews the history of this field, discusses the key underlying technologies, and describes how the future for these technologies will likely unfold, distinguishing between all-electric (AE) and hybrid-electric (HE) architectures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by Dr. Ravi Rajamani, it covers the essential information needed to understand this new technology wave taking hold in the aerospace industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eElectric Flight Technology: Unfolding of a New Future\u003c\/em\u003e covers fundamental topics such as: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe history of electric propulsion, including its evolution from using traditional electricity, to solar power to batteries as sources to sustain propulsion and flight.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe various architectures being considered for electric aircraft, specifically small general aviation (GA) aircraft and larger business jets; single-aisle commercial aircraft; and larger twin-aisle commercial aircraft.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe various systems and subsystems of an electric aircraft, along with how various subsystems in the vehicle can be integrated in a more optimal manner.
