Electric Aviation Gains Foothold – This is Not Cool (thinc.blog) Autoevolution: The airplane is not meant to move too many passengers or cargo. When it comes to people, there is only room for nine of them, aside from the ones in the cockpit. In cargo configuration, it was designed to have a maximum takeoff mass of 18,400 pounds (over 8,300 kg). The plane is supposed to be powered by a pair of electrical power units produced by a company called magniX. You may know the name as it recently teamed up with NASA for the Electric Powertrain Flight Demonstration (EPFD) program being conducted at the Glenn Research Center. The powertrain Alice uses is called magni650 and each unit is capable of delivering up to 934 horsepower. With two of them installed, the aircraft should be capable of reaching top speeds of 299 mph (481 kph). The battery pack installed on board should keep it going for as much as 290 miles (467 km), meaning the thing has been specifically designed for short trips between nearby locations.
