Hybrid electric passenger jets could be commercialized by a Boeing and Jet Blue ...
The United States has 13500 small airports but 140 of largest carry over 97% of the air traffic. Zunum Aero (a startup backed by Boeing and Jet Blue) believes electric aircraft of varying sizes are ideally suited to this critical need, requiring little support other than a GPS flightpath and a quick recharge or swap facility on the tarmac.
Short-haul flights produce over 40% of aviation emissions. With Zunum hybrid electric aircraft (and then later all electric aircraft, Zunum believes these will be largely eliminated within twenty years. Our aircraft are "hybrid-to-electrics" that sip fuel only when they have to, will use even less over time as batteries upgrade, and will one day go completely without — so that flying will be kind to the Earth.
The venture capital arms of Boeing and JetBlue Airways are backing a tiny Seattle-area startup that is developing electric hybrid regional aircraft.
Zunum Aero is developing 10- to 50-seat aircraft that co-founder and CEO Ashish Kumar hopes will bring "a new golden era" of fast and affordable electric air travel.
