It is not just on the roads (and rails) that electric transport is making
news. The ultimate dream of electric air travel has just taken another step
forward. Easyjet has announced that it is in talks with American company
Wright Electric to build aeroplanes powered by electric batteries. These
would be suitable for short haul flights of under two hours.

Wright Electric, a company founded two years ago, already has an electric
two-seater aircraft to its name, and is planning to launch a nine-seater
next year. It has lodged a patent request for its electric aircraft engine.
According to the company, electric aeroplanes could be 50% less noisy and
10% less expensive than current aircraft. Emissions from burning aircraft
fuel would be eliminated.

As for Easyjet, it specialises in relatively short flights around Europe,
and many of these may fit the criteria of the new aeroplane.
