Eviation Says Cape Air Will Take 75 Alice Aircraft
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Flight Global.
Orders in the Wikipedia entry for the Eviation Alice says this.
The first buyer for the Alice was Cape Air, a regional airline serving the Northeastern United States as well as the Caribbean. In August 2021, Deutsche Post announced that it had ordered 12 aircraft for use by DHL to transport cargo, with delivery planned from 2024. In April 2022, Eviation stated that Cape Air ordered 75 planes.
It does look like this innovative aircraft could be ready for more than just a first flight.
Applicability To The UK
I have a feeling, that we’ll see a lot of five-to-nine electric aircraft in the UK, as we have lots of islands and quite a lot of small airports.
The Alice has a range of around 500 miles, which is useful, but the take-off run of 800 metres could be a limitation on some islands.
Conclusion
I can’t wait to fly in an Alice.
