Commercial airplanes, which bring millions of people to distant locations every day, make up 2.5% of greenhouse gas emissions today. Of course, this value is not as high as cars or factories, but if we want to save our world, we need to start taking certain measures in every area. Here is a designer named Joe Doucet with the concept of electric aircraft that will completely remove the emissions in the aircraft. This electric aircraft, named ‘ZER0’, is powered by batteries and electric generators. These electrical sources can also be charged from solar panels. Concept aircraft are slower than jet powered aircraft: The concept aircraft, which has three propellers, of course, goes much slower than jet aircraft. ZER0 can reach a point where passengers flying by jet aircraft can reach in 2 hours, in 2 hours and 25 minutes. But considering the contribution of the design to the world, this time excess seems like nothing. The wings of ZER0 are much larger than the wings we see in today’s planes. The reason for this is to bring the lifting force applied to the plane to the ideal level. Joe Doucet also said that if ZER0 does not have any power, it can glide from the air to the ground. The three propellers behind ZER0 push the plane instead of pulling it. Doucet, who conducted research on this subject, concluded that the propellers that are pushing are much more efficient in saving fuel. Doucet also admitted that one purpose of the propellers to be at the back is an aesthetic appearance. Joe Doucet says he may not have produced a fully functional design even though he has been working on the design of the plane for months. That is why he gives the fact that he is neither an aviation engineer nor an electric motor expert. Doucet wants the plane to catch your eye only with its design. Electric planes are not just a subject that is talked about today. Although small electric planes have appeared since the 1970s, this sector has gained importance with the development of technology. As a final example, Hyundai and Uber introduced their flying taxis at the CES event of this year.
