Airbus Electric Hybrid Planes E-Flying
E-Hybrid Plans Ramping Up Source: Airbus. E-Thrust Concept Electric Hybrid Aircraft Cleaner, Greener Flying Airbus is moving forward on plans to produce hybrid electric planes for commercial use by 2035. This is part of Airbus' major focus to develop and manufacture low emissions aircraft. Global air travel spews millions of tons of carbon dioxide from jet fuel into the atmosphere. Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury confirmed that he's moving ahead with the industry's first program to potentially develop and produce fleets of hybrid electric aircraft. He confirmed his electric hybrid plane goals during a conversation with reporters this weekend. E-Thrust Concept: Electric-Hybrid Flying Commitment with Greatly Reduced Emissions Airbus' commitment to developing greener energy sources to power jets is clear. In May, Airbus and SAS Scandinavian Airlines signed an agreement to partner on research for electric and hybrid aircraft designs. Their E-Thrust con
