Electric Aircraft Near Take-Off As Rolls-Royce And Airbus Team Up to Build 'E-Jets'
Airbus, Rolls-Royce and Siemens have teamed up to develop the technology needed to create electrically powered aircraft. (www.telegraph.co.uk) 기타...

Doesn't seem worth all that work to save 10% in fuel. Why have a turbo fan generate electricity to turn props? More moving parts mean more break downs. That sounds very inefficient to me.
Ten percent fuel savings is huge. Electric motors are far more reliable than any other motor.
The new GE engines that are going on the 777X give the 10% fuel savings. In the future the savings will go up. No need for an electric engine!
If Airbus has enough money laying around to fund this pipe dream they should consider repaying the stockholders (and taxpayers) for their other boondoggle, the A380!
Electric aircraft were tried in the 40's and 50's. Proven unreliable then. Nothing changes. Maybe Airbus and Siemens are interested in a bridge. I have one cheap!
CORRECT, nothing changes, for YOU, if you refuse to embrace science.
Diesel trains are actually Diesel/Electric always have been; where the Diesel powers generators, that power electric motors on the bogies.

Randy,
Believe it or not I knew that before you were born!! I'am sure I'm older than you. The same with newer passenger ships, etc. But flying through the air is much different than being on the sea or on the ground. I think you can appreciate that. Your wise attitude isn't appreciated as well! Grow up!

Being an electrician I know about diesel electric trains. I also know that some submarines of ww2 were helped by this technology. I also know that electric engines do not have the thrust to weight ratio that is required for flight. This was tried by several research centers.
