Eviation announced today that it has taken delivery of the first Alice EPU from magniX, and its all-electric aircraft is set to take flight later this year. Called Alice, it can transport up to 9-passengers for up to 440 nautical miles, powered by magniX propulsion systems. The design includes one propeller at the rear and a second at the end of each wing, perfectly placed to reduce drag from wingtip vortices. Read more for two videos and additional information.
The propellers are driven by a 260 kW electric motor that draws power from a 820 kWh lithium ion battery pack. At $3-million, the aircraft is capable of cruising at 253 mph, with operating costs at just 7-9 cents per seat per mile, or around $200 per hour for the entire aircraft versus the $1,000 for its turboprop counterparts.
