On January 29, Boeing announced in a statement announcing that HorizonX, the company's venture capital arm, invested in
Cuberg, a California-based start-up.
Cuberg is currently working on a battery made from lighter, less flammable components and hopes to test a prototype later this year
.
Boeing's investment in the company is considered the latest step
in strengthening its presence in the field of electric aircraft.
In recent years, the pace of research and development of electric aircraft by aviation giants has been accelerating
.
At the end of November last year, European industrial giants Rolls-Royce, Airbus and Siemens signed a cooperation agreement to jointly develop a hybrid test machine called "E-FanX", hoping to achieve the first test flight in 2020; Further on, Boeing invested in a pure electric and hybrid aircraft startup called ZunumAero, which is working to start selling hybrid aircraft
by 2022.
According to media reports, many U.
S.
airlines are currently exiting the short-haul aviation market
, which is dominated by 50-seat passenger aircraft, due to cost considerations.
Some analysts say that in the next 15 years, the size of the electric aircraft market will exceed 22 billion US dollars
.
Compared with existing fuel commercial aircraft, the advantages of electric aircraft are mainly reflected in the two aspects of
low cost and more environmental protection.
The current high international jet fuel prices have clearly increased the industry's interest
in electric aircraft development.
Electric aircraft, once the technology matures, will be very attractive
in terms of cost.
At the same time, research shows that aviation, as the world's "big emitter" of greenhouse gas emissions, emits 500 million tons of carbon dioxide per year, and the International Civil Aviation Organization expects jet fuel to triple its current level by 2050
.
In this context, the industry generally regards the development of electric aircraft as one of the
fundamental measures to reduce environmental pollution in the aviation industry.
In addition, electric aircraft are expected to change the already familiar face of aviation
.
The Taurus G4, an electric aircraft previously developed by Slovenian aircraft manufacturer Bat, shows that electric planes require shorter runways, faster climbs, and significantly less noise than existing aircraft, so that airports for future take-off and landing electric aircraft could even be located in the city center
.
On the whole, the current electric aircraft research and development is still in the early acceleration period, and various concept designs are constantly being launched, but the key to achieving a leap forward lies in battery technology
