Why all the hate?? No one is suggesting we replace an F22 with an electric drone…innovation in all fields leads us to the next great technological breakthrough.
Because you don't build any aircraft others have companies have been making electric aircraft drones etc and other technologies for years and F-Works selects one company on a whim while other companies have no funding so don't comment without knowledge.
Will KC-135s now have in-flight charging cables?
The refueling plane will drop a case of Harbor Freight AA batteries.........
KC-46 or The Sunshine Band will replace it.
lol
Yes, WiFi connetion.
No just a fucking long extension cable, plugged into the smoko room
Locally here Harbour Air has been testing a retrofit electric on a float plane. The majority of their trips are short shuttle,30-50kish which is perfect for charging between trips. The weight of battery packs has to be considered. The pilot says the torque at takeoff is quite superior!
Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
Electric supports low noise, heat & maintenance. Add a little stealth & ground-based power (fabric solar panels + batteries?), and maybe you'd have a handy 'flying jeep' etc
It is very good. All my best wishes for you and USA
Thank you ❤
Blessed is the person who is too busy to worry in the daytime, and too sleepy to worry at night.
The Rolls-Royce electric plane is sensational. Looks amazing and so much fun!
This technology will change aviation positively. 🚁✈
This test is probably intended to produce a large weaponized drone from this.
A small little prop fighter is popular in some countries.
Super Technology
Super Video
Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.
Super batteries are around the corner , then everything will change massively
Another thought. Lithium Ion batteries are light and the most energy dense. However it is illegal to transport them by air on commercial airlines. How about all the fires we have seen caused by Lithium Ion batteries. Not a good feature when flying at thousands of feet.
1) Lithium batteries are carried on cargo only flights.
2)Know what else you can’t carry on commercial airlines? Missiles, grenades, bombs, etc. You see, the military can do lots of things civilians can’t.
Gasoline has 100X the energy density of a Li-Ion battery. In practical terms, that means a 737's range would be 31.6mi instead of 3160mi. That would be 90 stops for a flight from NYC to LAX.
So why can't I take a can of gasoline as my hand luggage in commercial flights then?
@@Hyposonic NOT USABLE Energy. Go do your homework....
@@darrellmcever340 As I am a designer of high-performance Li-Ion batteries, I'd love to hear your groundbreaking insights.
An excellent compilation, thank you. 👍
would make a great air ambulance depending on price
The horse drawn carriage will never be replaced!
Yes! A flying horse could replaced airplanes. Scientist should find a way to bring back to life Pegasus and those prehistoric flying reptiles
Peguasus, and Santa's Reindeer could do much to relieve our fantasies in transpoeration. And it's amazing what Fairy Godmothers can do with pumpkins. 😀 @@ayamhitam9794
Don't focus on making the right decision, focus on making the decision the right one.
MADE IN USA ALWAYS POWERFUL N BEAUTIFUL
Innovation in aviation has brought us from Kitty Hawk to breathtaking achievement in both passenger and military flights. Awareness about the possible environmental impact will never stop innovation as the increased use of electric aviation will silence all critical ( non flyers)
Who sees a KC-135 dangling an extension cord out the rear to do a mid-air recharge? ;-)
10:00
At last a clear shot of a UFO! 😅
Why are the top facing rotors being hidden from view?!
Nice start to many dumb comments.looking forward to it's future
Electric is the future i dont really like it but no one can stop it . Its here to stay
How is the battery made and where does the power come from?
You are thinking about it too hard it's ZERO EMISSIONS!
how is fuel made and where does the power come from to make it
@@fetB details, details.
Look not at the man behind the curtain.
It comes from the blood of children and is made by dark magic rituals lead by the Great Orange One.
@@fetB so you're admitting both require fossil fuels??? Nice self own. LOL Plus we have to deal with dirty batteries, lower speeds, much longer refuel times, more weight, all new infrastructure....
i newer forget trumps speech " we want to have nice clean emissions so that the country we're blowing to hell is not heart environmentally" . The guy is sure one of a kind.
Hmm. Interesting video. 😊😊😊❤❤❤
I am very much in favor of new technology and innovation. There is a place for any or all electric vehicles. However electric has a big short coming, energy density. Battery technology does not have an even close energy density to carbon based fuels. Energy density in batteries will continue to improve but in my view it will be many years before it approaches that of carbon based fuels. So for a very long time there will be a market need for both. Unless great detail to safety and backup systems are payed attention to a single fuse could down an aircraft. As a former military person and an Electronic Engineering Technician, in a combat situation a fast recharge will still need to be accomplished by carbon based fuel generators mitigating the zero emission aspect. I should suggest helical toroidal propellers which would increase efficiency by about twenty percent. Keep moving ahead this is impressive technology.
You need much less energy in an electric aircraft, even todays lithium ion batteries are able to provide around one hour of flight time for electric aircraft, there are already certified electric planes out there, and they have 10 year old battery technology. As right now energy density goes up by the month, in the very near future flight times around 2 hours will be possible, which is more than enough for many tasks (short range passenger flights, emergency services, package delivery...)
electric aircraft will have tremendously reduced costs per flighttime, as all the hot section engine problems go away, electric motors do not need regular maintenance, cost reduction will be HUGE !
@@hanswallner2188 Lift is determined by the shape and size of the wings. Pound for pound it takes the same amount of energy to get identical panes in the air regardless of whether it is fossil fuels or electric. "You need much less energy in an electric aircraft," is not true. Getting an aircraft in the air is not the issue maintaining flight is the issue. As you stated "lithium ion batteries are able to provide around one hour of flight time" fossil fuels have a much higher energy density, meaning they can stay in the air longer. Someday it may be a reality that we will have long range electric flight, it is not today.
You make complete sense. However, the video maker as well as a number of Pentagon brass have a hardon for this. But don't worry. Once a dozen lives are wasted in a serious situation, they will dial it all back.
It's MUCH easier to control emissions from a few sources (power plants) than from 10s of thousands of planes. You're also ignoring the fact that coal is dying and wind/solar/hydro plants generate more electricity than coal does. And a single fuse can down a combustion powered aircraft --I've seen it on the Smithsonian TV show "Air Disasters." I'm sure electric plane designers will be smart enough to build in redundancy like every other system.
Then where's our cheap electric Luxury Zeppelins that we were promised?
What's next? Electric tank? Missile? Aircraft carrier? Spaceship?
Yes.
Once upon a time ships used sails, then transitioned to steam. Ground forces used pointy sticks, and then found something better. The future belongs to those who are willing to adapt, not those who are stuck in the past.
@@hwrdgrn your review is correct, showing an development towards use of steadily increasing energy density. The future like in the past will be created by those who accept and use the laws of physics without being corrupted by ideology.
They are already there and testing other ideas.
@@hwrdgrnNo, electric vehicles aren't the future. Maybe do some research.
Only thing i dis agree with is electric comab vehicles at least until we get reliable and actually efficient way of charging them and were they can be better then gas@hwrdgrn
aerial charging coming soon
20 minute flight time - 12 hours to charge. Make sense to me, lol!
American tax dollars put to good use as always xD
Nonsense, charging time of new EVs or electric aircraft is 30 to 60 minutes.
How will the power grid handle the future EV demands. The power needed will require a complete overhaul of the way power is distributed. EV technologies are not supported yet and the batteries themselves are poorly designed. I’m waiting for ambulance and electric companies trucks to be electric. Thats tough!
@@WARESPOWERwe will have unlimited power from fusion soon
Also, most future ev’s will have bidirectional charging, meaning they can feed the grid they charge from.. adding their battery capacity
That’s idiotic
Ev’s take an hour to charge, they can do trans continental flights . There’s even a solar sailplane called sunseeker that charges as it flies.
Zero emissions? Really how did you generator produce the electricity.
Can use any means to generate the electricity. wind, solar, coal, nuclear, in the future it will be fusion.
Don't be silly. All they have to do is build a wall. There's automatically electricity in every wall. Just plug in.
Uh, I think most people understand they meant zero emissions out the proverbial "tailpipe." Even if you ignore the fact that coal is dying, an electric plane powered by a coal plant still would be more beneficial since the pollution from the plant is a point source that can be better controlled and a single plant can be more easily retrofitted as tech improves making it cleaner and more efficient, than trying to do the same to thousands of fuel burning planes running all over the place kicking out harmful fumes/smoke/carbon.
Never forget: A dream is a dream. The things take time, a lot of time
They are developing fast and will be the norm in 5 years
Yeah, it needs time. But people also trying reducing time.
Not on lithium.
@@lcfflc3887 why not? But they are developing new technologies all the time. NASA has a new battery that’s impressive.
But lithium puts out a lot of power fast, so it’s great for the use
Electric doesn’t necessarily equal green folks. Open your eyes
Few emissions where the craft is, but not at the power station!
Nevermind that!!!!😂
You are REALLY uninformed. the "power station" is more and more solar, wind and nuclear, if not hydro and geo thermal.
AS solid state batteries improve, storage of peak and over windy and sunny days, will even it out and we can ONCE again rely on the sun- directly
instead of waiting 60,000 millions of years for sun grown vegetation to turn into coal and oil.
Recently one MAJOR European country experienced enough solar and wind, it could power the entire country!
@@MachinecoMachineswell we have a lot to look forward to I suppose. Until then, this is just a massive waste of time and money 😂
@@scottleggejr Yeah the horse and buggy people said that about automobiles too.
@@flyer617 no they didn't. They were thankful that their "horses" didn't get sick and need food and water anymore. This is the dumbest argument when people talk about the merits of EV vs the established standards existing today.
Where do they get the electricity they need on the front line of a war? It is much quicker to fuel up a plane than to recharge it.
Hot swap batteries. Shouldn't take longer than refueling. One problem is an entire infrastructure and supply chain needs to be created. Maybe a battery standard so different vehicles can share? Just my thought.
@@MarkBarrack How does that work out when the weather is super cold. Those Telsa trucks have been doing great in Rockies this winter.... /s
Pretty sure there won't be electric flying things until they come up with a light weight battery.
High Probability that Hybrid, or Plug-in Hybrid will be a "Starting Point" on that Path, Which Will allow for Multi-Mode Operations:
- Pure Electric, Straight Generator, and Supplemental Generator Operational Modes. IE: Whisper Mode, Range Extended Modes, and Battery Emergency Boost Potential. (Like Nitrous, at the track!)
As the presenter said “it doesn’t have much potenrial use in the military as yet”. It’s work in progress. You need to start somewhere…
I recently saw a video on a plane going the complete opposite way. It had the stock Rolls rotary motor taken out and a super charged LS swapped in with a custom transmission gearing it so it could fly at 3,000 rpm and nit the usual 6 or 7000 rpm most plane motors spin at.
This will help with density altitude when internal combustion engines loses power. The electric motors will perform the same in any weather
thats one of the sexiest air planes i have ever seen
The crowd yells and screams for more memes.
Extra mileage available with an extension cable.
When they can fly from CA to the Philippines let me know.
We all have problems. The way we solve them is what makes us different.
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.
Attach solar panels, have ground lasers fire energy at bottom power portals, and have drop off points for spent battery swaps
5:36 I have been following Beta for years. Congratulations to them f9r their hard work.
They released their transition video a few hours ago, go check it out!
Keep yourself to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.
Hydrogen has already superseded this short range technology. Recharge time of a pure Battery powered vehicle is killing this tech for the military.
I was just about to mention this. Why not hydrogen fuel cells? They're much lighter and can get more range.
The main thing is always - how long can we fly for with a battery. And how to totally avoid over-heating, electrical fire, running out of juice due to wrong data about the energy level, ending in tears etc.
- Energy density for batteries is improving every year and it won't be long until they provide viable output for long-duration flight
- Overheating is avoided with active cooling similar to what we see in battery packs for electric cars
- Electrical fire has the same or less chance of occurring as a traditional gas-powered vehicle with the added benefit of no requirement for handling fuel at all
- Running out of juice can happen in both electric and gas vehicles so not sure what the point is there
- Any aircraft failure will end in tears, electric or gas
Gas powered vehicles aren't going away for a long time, but electric powered vehicles are undeniably getting more effective every year. Both can be useful for different things and they should both be leveraged as such.
@@JordanCoopersNook It certainly will be good if they can have a fully electric plane - like an airbus A330 or A350 etc that is safe - as in no self-combusting surprises (and redundancy), and can fly many thousand km with adequate fuel to spare. And also - able to refuel real quick, at least as quick as conventional avgas aircraft.
@@JordanCoopersNook Tesla EVs are four times less likely to catch fire than an internal combustion engine.
How to fly without wings
AntiGravity Air Taxi
Work base on Gravity just spinning by using Battery
can fly in bad weather, plunge in the ocean even in outer space
Can lift more than 100 Ton
Earth which weight predict 600 trillion ton does not fall at the Sun because of centrifugal in orbitting, on the contrary it does not be thrown far go out the orbit line of hold by gravity at the Sun as orbit center. Gravity and centrifugal is equal called Equillibrium, thats why until now Earth which we was inhabited always rotate and circulate the Sun. Now we justly take example : how if the gravity used and centrifugal is negated? The Earth will float far leave the Sun. So that centrifugal can be used to fly far away if gravity eliminated. Finally how to eliminate gravity?
It’s way rotate part of aircraft by horizontal. When that rotation faster centrifugal force getting greater and the gravity getting smaller, finally it lose the gravity and the aircraft start flying. Of course people would surprise: how the aircraft can keep rotate without fulcrums? Thats why we named that aircraft Shuttling System that is aircraft likes two disc adjoining attached in the midle as fulcrums:
A. The Top part, we name Positive rotate to right, and the edges is getting thicker and havier.
B. The Buttom part, we name Negative rotating to left, and the edges is getting thicker and havier.
C. Middle Part , we name Neutral, air crew placed and also machine and everythings turning Negative and Positive at the same time.
The aircraft can liftup added with explosion from the engine. However that aircraft construction later, let the engineer doit it, and we are sure the aircraft will bulletproof and also waterproof.

In modern civilization where human being generally using flying saucer as vehicle, will a lot of change in lives either in materialism and in psychological. In materialism area will apply the change in life like.
People no longger need roadway and rel road which spend large of energy, money, places, things and time, object place and time. People would utilize that area for habitat or for other need:
@@kenbob1071yeah coz there's a tiny amount of teslas vs ice vehicle's. You talking about a few million vs. a billion
Superb ! 🌟
You can't trust without risk but neither can you live in a cocoon.
Now if someone will invent a cordless extension cord, they can have global coverage
Maybe nuclear fueled electric planes but not rechargeable.
How would you recharge hundreds at the same time and what do you do about the extended turn around times?
Yes, micro nuclear would be next level!!
So.. is there a tactical solar panel system that is laid out in a tactical, bomb-proof arrangement?
They will tactically push the airplane around on the ground in circles for two days to tactically recupe enough energy to then fly to the next tactical diesel generator with tactically hotwired charging plug.
Awesome innovation and your content presented with the epitome of professionalism. I immediately subscribed!
FANBOY alert 😁😁😁😁
what charges the batteries?
(a diesel generator behind the building)
Solar, wind, clean energy. Don’t be stupid.
@@soaringeagle Yeah smart, because today's Armed Forces only want to operate when the sun is shining!
Alpha calling Charlie... Hi this is Charlie.... Please bring the charger, we have exhausted the battery.
Military aircraft require more time over target than batteries can provide. The turnaround time would be ridiculous . Stick with turbines.
A 30 minute fuel tank. It should be able to easily service the electric Abrams tank.
Absolutely this is the best technology to secure our mother planet. A renewable solution to cub problems of climate change
Once battery capacity isn't an issue, this market will explode for military first, then civilian.
I wonder if a TCAS like system will be incorporated into the Joby aircraft.
Great video flupdup
You know what's not environmentally friendly? war.
Who doesn’t love war machines be more green?
Check back tomorrow; I will see if the book has arrived.
Will an e-drone have any advantage(s) over an e-helicopter-?
O custo por hora de vôo 👍
It helps if a plane can glide to the ground.
Electric planes will make sense when batteries cost less and weigh less than gas. Until then, they are simply curiosities.
All very cool but the big issue why we will not see them anytime soon is simply the power. Less than a hour flight time?
Which is more then enough for many situations, emergency helicopters often have gas for less then 45 minutes on regular missions to be able to perform in difficult conditions
One of the biggest reasons theyre investing in this is because of the lower weight of putting a bunch of these in that C-130 transport plane or within carriers. .Weight = fuel = money.
You really think they are lighter with all the batteries they require. EV cars are not lighter than gas fueled cars.
So, a petrol powered airplane with drained tanks weighs so very much more than a plane with batteries? What about the diesel generator that will produce the electricity for the fantastic batteries? I know, it's a rub between diesel and aviation fuel weight.
And since when does the Pentagon care about money?
This is cool. But I think for now hybrid aircraft will be the best immediate answer, especially when solar power becomes more reliable.
I love how they show stacks with steam coming out of them to make you think that it is all pollution and chemicals.
It's great. I will own one, one day. 😊
If war breaks out, I hope our enemies would be considerate and allow us at least 8 hours to charge our batteries before the fight begins.
Mr. Potatohead has already sold the planes to the Red Chinese
wow electric planes
I’m a pilot & I’m pretty good at it, proof being solo record in my club & winning competitions. I can say pilots are like car drivers, some good, some average & some not so good. I really can’t imagine lots of citizens of the world flying around together, would be chaos & dangerous. I guess safety systems would eventually cure that though?
4:11 3000 feet is basically a half of a mile?
The bar was that low for Guinness World Record people?!
Wait till the battery catches fire!!
5:04 is that a drone or an ufo passing by behind the plane? put slow motion to see it.
What are the environmental effects of the battery raw material mining, production factories, and waste disposal? Is that factored into the “environmental impact” of these systems?
Millions of people in serious financial problems in the us, but nice army
Please increase this technology
Just what all pilots want, inflight battey fires.
Good times, JUST NUTS!
nonsense, fire risk of EVs or electric planes is much lower then with gas, you should not believe all the crap you read in some stupid big oil driven propaganda
4:54 This has to be the future of commercial helicopters.
Where are the aircraft with windmills above the wings? I'll bet these electric expensive play toys will be good targets.
Это всё для теплых стран где нет зимы и стаи птиц только какой страны нет на земле))) Очередная лапша для студентов
Fun footage. Shallow commentary.
Imagine the batteries catching fire in the sky😂😂😂 hell no for me
Can it win a war?
It’s a start
Little prop planes are good when you already have air superiority.
The plane of the future, and always will be.
Dream on
How long is extension cord???
Stupid is as Stupid Government does.
Stupidity would be not investing in electri c aircraft, as it is for short range obviously the way to go.
Would work if they can swap the battery after each use. Better idea for a plane than a car, like Nio.
This will be about as dependable as the horrible Osprey tilt rotor
Would think if the batteries hit by shrapnel it would catch fire.
I applaud the emphasis towards technological changes in the aviation industry however it will always come down to practicality. Electric isn’t ready yet, not only due to capacity but also safety. Battery design has to change dramatically to reduce risk overall. Can you please review the negatives as well. I see only the spin on the positive side of electric with your site.
Petrol has 100X the energy density of a Li-Ion battery. A 737's range would be 31.6mi instead of 3160mi. That would be 90 stops for a flight from NYC to LAX.
While it is obvious that electric flight will not work on long range, but works excellent and cheap on short range your comment is nonsense, pure energy density is just one factor, there are lots of others, engine efficiency is at least double in electric motors, then consider approach or taxiing, where a gas turbine still draws 50% of fuel consumption while an electrical aircraft would taxi with 1 or 2 percent power and would even produce power on approach by recouperation as EVs do.
With todays usually marketed batteries electric aircraft with range of about 200 miles is absolutely possible, and there are several electric planes flying.
@@hanneslimbach2505 Nonsense? I design and build these battery systems. My comment merely tempers the hype and shows how far we have to go. If math bothers you, that's your issue. No one said there was no market, just a long road ahead for those of us who dream of electric flying cars in our driveways.
