Waiex Electric Plane Unveiled

Aug 20, 2007
Aviation is one domain where people would not think of using any other energy but oil. However, with oil prices crawling up higher and higher, flying becomes more and more expensive. If you love to fly you can take it as your hobby to fly around in a small aircraft burning fuel. Although you have to have a pretty large bank account to do that. Sonex and Aeroconversions have designed an airplane that will make sports flying affordable for future generations. How? They have come up with Waiex electric aircraft.

Its main source of power is the Aero Vee power plant, which uses ethanol conversion to get electricity. Basically it is an electrical plane and its engine is run by electricity, however in order to get that much power ethanol is used.

This might be a new beginning for our aviation in general. There are drones that used solar power to run, but those are military gadgets. This one here can make commercial production of airplanes more affordable to usual people who don't have millions to spend. Electrical engines are cleaner and use of ethanol will give us better fuel economy.

Another big advantage of Waiex aircraft is that it does not pollute air as usual airplanes do. And this is one of the main problems today. Remember when U.S government has landed all the aircrafts in U.S. Did you know that at that moment the temperature on the whole territory of the U.S. rose up by approximately 1.0 degree Celsius? Conclusion: airplane flights change our climate and they are among the reasons of global warming.

The future of flying will be powered by electric power after E-Flight initiative. And an air plane that runs on this power needs some basic parts like: electric motor, power plant, controller, battery pack, and charging system. The charging system is the one we really need to make electric aircrafts possible in future. Using pure ethanol will bring to less air pollution and more fuel efficiency.

Too bad you don't know what you're writing about.

The electric Sonex-Waiex is to be powered by batteries only.

The ethanol powered Sonex-Waiex is an internal combustion engine that uses ethanol instead of gasoline.

"Conclusion: airplane flights change our climate and they are among the reasons of global warming."--Are you kidding? if anything, the temperature increase that coincided with the grounding of the airlines indicates that airline traffic contributes to cooling, not heating!

Wow, unbelievable!
