    Airbus Launches E-Fan Electric Trainer Airplane

    ElectricThe Airbus Group launched their two-seater, E-Fan electric trainer airplane in France last month.

    The all-electric all-composite experimental plane designed specifically as a demonstrator for the small electric aircraft technology made its first public flight in Bordeaux, France, during the Airbus’ E-Aircraft Day.

    The aircraft is comparatively quieter than the non-electric planes and has zero carbon dioxide emissions during flight. Moreover, it lasts an hour for training flights and half an hour for manoeuvres.

    According to Airbus, the E-Fan electric trainer plane will be used as a model for designing, building and selling two improved versions through their subsidiary company, VoltAir.

    Dreamliner Back off the Drawing Board; Back in the Air

    (FAA)-certification test flights recommenced Monday when Dreamliner No. 4 took off Monday from Yuma, Arizona. After updating power system software and vigorous testing, flight readiness had been confirmed for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Plagued with problems based on it’s composition frame and other issues, Dreamliner’s delivery date has been pushed back and back and back. Monday’s fuel jettison test, which incorporated a test on the electronic equipment bay, was successful.

    Earlier in testing a Rolls-Royce engine blew up, and later, Boeing attributed the test fiasco in Laredo to debris in the electrical panel, hence the inclusion in Monday’s test flight. Hardware changes were proposed after that test.

    Boeing says they need the FAA to agree to the fixes and to restart certification test flights.
