About

Electric aircraft is a research field within aerospace engineering and related disciplines focused on the investigation, design, development, and implementation of aircraft that employ electric motors for propulsion, powered by onboard electricity sources such as batteries, fuel cells, or hybrid systems. This academic concept explores novel architectures, power management strategies, and performance characteristics to enable sustainable, efficient, and potentially quieter aviation compared to conventional fossil fuel-based propulsion.
