The first electric plane arrives
The aircraft, developed by a group of researchers from MIT, does not have moving parts, so it does not need fossil fuels for its operation. Using ionic propulsion, this plane can fly. Oriol Lizandra, a professor at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, explains that ion propulsion lies in accelerating positive ions and that Newton's law of "action and reaction" emits a force on the accelerator that captures these ions, but in the opposite direction. The aircraft is silent, weighs only t...
