On 4 September 2022 CNN reported: The Velis Electro, the world's only electric plane fully certified in the EU and the UK, is taking off as a greener option for trainee pilots. Manufactured in Slovenia by Pipistrel, the Velis Electro is a two-seater light aircraft designed for flight schools. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the fields of science and business, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

... As well as producing no carbon emissions in the air, the airplane is quiet -- around 60 decibels says Pipistrel, which is about the same as a normal conversation. Tomazic [Tine Tomazic, chief technology officer at Pipistrel Slovenia] says that as a result, it can fly at much smaller airfields -- which are often nearer to built-up areas and closer to prospective pilots -- without annoying nearby residents.

... Pipistrel was acquired this year by American conglomerate Textron (owner of the Cessna and Lycoming brands), and is now part of Textron eAviation. The global electric aircraft market is expected to quadruple by 2030, according to market research firm Precedence Research -- which estimates the value could reach nearly $40 billion by the end of the decade.

... 'What (the) Velis Electro is already doing today is training the generation of pilots who will fly these large green aviation products of the future,' he [Tomazic] says.

'Not only is it representing a change in technology applied to training, but it is definitely changing the mindset of future pilots who inevitably will want to fly cleaner, electrified airplanes as part of their pilot careers.'
