Duxion Motors is celebrating the successful ground test of its patented eJet Motor, the electric jet engine poised to make high-speed electric aviation a reality. Completed in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada, the successful ground testing of the scaled prototype included both low-speed and high-speed testing.
“The eJet Motor is the world’s first rim-driven jet propulsion motor, with the means of matching existing jet engine thrust but without the emissions,” explains Rick Pilgrim, Chairman and CEO of Duxion Motors. “The eJet Motor is novel, scalable, and can be configured to serve a broad base of airframes.”…

Cochin International Airport – the world’s first 100% solar-powered airport [see video]

admin — Sat, 29 Feb 2020 19:26:24 +0000

Recipients of the United Nations’ 2018 Champion of the Earth Award for Entrepreneurial Vision, this 100% sustainable airport has set a strong example for every airport to follow. Not only did they achieve 100% solar power, they produced 60+ tons of organic vegetables under their solar panels last year.

Situated on the southwest coast of India, Cochin (aka Kochi) has been a cosmopolitan port and center of commerce since 1341, and has hosted trade from Arab, Chinese and European merchants almost continuously.

“As the pace of society continues to increase, the world’s first fully solar-powered airport is proof positive that green business is good business.” See the video below produced by UN Environment.
