According to estimations from 2022, a 90-seats electric aircraft will be twice as energy efficient as a fossil-fueled one with an energy intensity of 0.41 megajoules per revenue passenger kilometer. The lower the energy intensity of an aircraft, the more efficient it is.
Cruise energy efficiency of electric vs fossil-fueled regional aircrafts as estimated in 2022
(in MJ/RPK)
For specific aircraft analyses, this work explores three designs with different passenger capacities. The three have 9, 19, and 90 seats and are called the 9Bolt, 19Bolt, and 90Bolt, respectively.
