The firm sees regional travel as being under served by aviation.LE BOURGET, FRANCE - JUNE 17, 2019: An Israeli Eviation Alice electric aircraft, developed by Eviation Aircraft, on display at the 2019 Paris Air Show opened at Le Bourget Airport. Marina Lystseva/TASS Paris Air ShowEviation is developing a nine-passenger aircraft designed to fly up to 650 miles at around 240 knots . A commercial jet would cruise around 500 miles per hour.
The company's chief executive, Omer Bar-Yohay, told a press conference Tuesday that he expected to receive certification by late 2021, with deliveries predicted for 2022.Bar-Yohay cited the contributions from Honeywell who built the plane's controls as well as Siemens, and magniX who provided the electric motor and related functions.
The CEO added the plane should satisfy FAA concerns that it might create a backlog of training for pilots, as it was "probably one of the easiest planes to fly," adding "this is one of the specimens that the FAA wants to see happen."The aircraft comes with roughly 900 kilowatts of power split by three engines provided by magniX. Bar-Yohay claimed if there was a problem with the two wing engines, it could continue flying on the rear rotor only.
