First flight with zero emissions, is scheduled for August.
The Electric Vehicle Project – EV (in Portuguese, Projeto
Veículo Elétrico – VE), developed by Itaipu and the ACS Aviation (São José dos
Campos – State of Sao Paulo) intends to air in the coming days, the first
Brazilian electric airplane.
ACS produces, already, a small and modern sports model, the
ACS 100 Sora, that now flies with a combustion engine.
The idea is to reproduce, in the air, the same conversion
formula from combustion propulsion system, as the Palio Weekend battery powered
model, currently circulating through the Itaipu’s premises.
