Man's attempts to harness the use of electricity for his dream to
fly go back to well before the 19th century. Until the 1990's, due
to battery weight and low energy, electricity could only remain a
faithful accessory to piston aircraft, but with the arrival of
lightweight construction materials, solar power, improved engines
and the LiPo battery, the skies recently opened up to a whole fleet
of electric aircraft around the world - from thumbnail
insect-styled drones (UAVs) to stratospheric airships. About
aviation's third revolution (following heavier-than-air and
turbojet), this book also outlines the diversity of future trends
for electric aircraft in the 21st century.
