Electric and hybrid aircraft are innovative types of aircraft that use electric power for propulsion. Electric aircraft rely entirely on batteries or fuel cells, while hybrid aircraft combine traditional jet engines with electric motors. This technology aims to reduce emissions and noise, making air travel more environmentally friendly. These aircraft are still in the development phase, with several prototypes being tested. Companies like Airbus and Boeing are exploring electric and hybrid designs to improve fuel efficiency and lower operational costs. As battery technology advances, the potential for widespread use of electric and hybrid aircraft in commercial aviation increases.
