PEAL event: talk by IEEE Fellow Jim Hendershot on "Electric Powered Flight"
The first manned flight began back in the 18th century using air balloons with natural wind currents for propulsion. The first two wheel transportation using horse drawn carriages goes back thousands of years. In modern times self- propelled four wheel vehicles were powered by electric motors. Modern manned flight has been powered by internal combustion engines and then turbine engines since the Wright Brothers. Motorcars did not utilize IC engines until a large gasoline infrastructure was created. Now days there is a keen interest in electric propulsion of manned and unmanned air flight. We will review these activities and point out the technology improvements needed to make E-Flight practical. This will involve both electric machine and airfoil improvements.
