Why planes aren’t electric. Yet.



How close are we to electric planes? Getting closer! Here’s how.

I visited a company called Beta that’s working on electric planes. The most interesting thing I learned is that while it might be a long time until we can electrify those big passenger planes you might be used to, in order for electric planes to help us reduce carbon emissions significantly… we actually don’t need to!

I made a longer video about this that you can watch here:

  1. I'd love a video about the near future of green energy. Like our predictions for the next 10 years.. cuz currently it seems like most electricity is not at all green which sorta defies the purpose

  2. Most of the emission comes from celebrities' private jets. Yeah, I'm looking at you Taylor Swift. And then the average joe gotta eat the offset costs in the form of higher prices or bullshit epa regs. regulations.

  3. "high speed rail, high speed rail!1!1!1!1" shut up. Not everywhere is europe or the US. The last high speed rail project were I live was cancelled in 2008, and even if it wasnt cancelled, it wouldve been built in 2050. This is ACTUALLY important.

  4. How do you plan to get electric engines that provide less than half the thrust of a an airliner engine like the GE90 to then even provide enough thrust to get off the ground.
