FLYING CAR BATTERY BREAKTHROUGH MAKES FUTURISTIC TRANSPORT ‘COMMERCIALLY VIABLE’
Researchers have figured out a way to rapidly recharge ultra dense batteries capable of powering flying cars, theoretically making them suitable for everyday use.
The breakthrough with electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles could enable the commercialisation of next-generation transport systems in the near future, according to the researchers from Penn State university who made the discovery.
“I hope that the work we have done in this paper will give people a solid idea that we don’t need another 20 years to finally get these vehicles,” said Chao-Yang Wang, director of the Electrochemical Engine Center, Penn State.
“I believe we have demonstrated that the eVTOL is commercially viable.”
