- This is a vessel that is being tested a lot in China.
Now they want to enter the European market and test it in a tough climate, says Henrik Littorin, project manager Elis program at Skellefteå airport.
The electric airplane has room for two passengers and can today fly about 40 minutes at a speed of 130 kilometers.
There are no wheels on the car yet.
However, the development of electric aircraft is fast and in a few years wheels may be fitted.
Then the car's propellers also fold into the hull.
There are hundreds of companies in the world today that develop large drones and electric aircraft.
- We hope through this test to be able to develop our role as a hub in Sweden for fossil-free air transport with electricity and hydrogen, says Robert Lindberg, head of Skellefteå Airport and continues:
- Sometime between 2025-2030, these electric airplanes will fly between Skellefteå Airport and the Northvolt factory in daily traffic.
It would only take 5 minutes against today's 30. I'm completely convinced of that.
