Developer admits electric aircraft not commercially viable with current technology<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


A pioneering electric plane developer has shelved development of its new craft after discovering that its batteries will only last a few hundred flights before they need to be replaced.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Italy\u2019s Tecnam said it will stop making the P-volt aircraft since it cannot now hit a target of delivering the plane by 2026.
The speed at which the batteries would lose charge would erode the nine-passenger craft\u2019s value, ruining its commercial prospects, it added.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


The company will now wait for battery capacity and weight improvements which will allow the propeller-driven plane to be developed successfully at a later date.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
