Spaceship-Like Electric Aircraft 'Alice' Prepares For Its First Flight In These Awesome Images

प्रस्तुत
 
Eviation’s out-of-this-world-looking all-electric aircraft Alice was out in the open this week as it underwent engine testing leading up to its first flight. Alice was spotted this week at Arlington Municipal Airport (KAWO), north of Seattle, Washington, where it performed engine testing in preparation for upcoming high-speed taxi tests.

Just one question: With the intakes for each motor, why? It isn't like there is any situation that requires air intake. No combustion occurring.

My guess is that electric motors still produce heat from operating and need cooling.

The aircraft marshaller (sp) is asking for the jet to make a right turn into the grass?? While its being towed??? Idiot!

As you said, under tow, so no marshaller giving directions.

You were looking at one of the two wing walkers giving the old 'proceed in this direction' signal. Rear arm, in direction of aircraft movement, up, the other arm forward, in the tow.

Reversed on pushback.

Well lets see so far there has been an electric beaver two c 208 Cessna's both have flown both cannot carry any payload other than the pilot. Both failed the both Cessna's are or were up for sale. This is another thing in the wings the biggest problem is still batteries and the bet is this one is going to be dealing with the same problem. Doesnt matter how fast they can charge the thing per flight hour its how long can it go between charges. The C208 was going to be a short run AC for commuter flight.
Next up is another aero car...............not.

Just say "I hate technological advancements...even though I like new phones, new TV's, etc." That would have saved screen space.

Wow sorry I missed your funny comment on something that still does not fly. Also look at the specs guess you and others know nothing about aircraft either. This and those I mentioned are all hype fed with money from people like you. Soon coming your way are flying cars in everyone's garage and oh taxis the same way. Your view on things is so limited its really funny.
