(an electric aircraft is an ‘aircraft’ powered by ‘electric motors’)
.
(electricity may be supplied by a variety of methods including…)
‘batteries’
‘ground power cables’
‘solar cells’
‘ultra-capacitors’
‘fuel cells’
(and even ‘power beaming’!)
.
(electrically powered model aircraft have been flown since the 1970s, with one unconfirmed report as early as 1957)
(they have since developed into small battery-powered unmanned aerial vehicles or drones, which in the 21st century have become widely used for many purposes)
(although manned flights in a ‘tethered helicopter’ go back to 1917 and in airships to the previous century, the first manned free flight by an electrically powered aeroplane was not made until 1973 and most manned electric aircraft today are still only ‘experimental demonstrators’)
.
(between 2015 – 2016, “solar impulse 2” completed a circumnavigation of the ‘earth’)
