Electric airplanes leverage battery power for electric motors, driven by rechargeable batteries charged before each flight. Charging methods include solar power and grid electricity. Typically hybrid electric, these aircraft combine electric motors and fossil fuel engines to extend range, ensuring practicality for commercial use. Currently, Electric Airplanes are limited due to their limited range. However, researchers are exploring new battery technologies and other solutions that could allow for longer flights in the future.
