NREL modeling power requirements for regional air mobility

Green Car Congress

How that happens exactly—whether from on-site renewables or grid supplied—is a site-by-site discussion. Regional air mobility continues the conversation to include electrified (and maybe automated) aircraft. Even smaller airports might take on a larger role, using on-site renewable energy. —Jordan Cox.
