| Video Discription | Electric planes don't look like I thought... If you want more optimistic stories about technology, subscribe to support our show! Are electric planes possible? And if so, when are they coming?? Turns out, they’re already here. For this episode of Huge If True, I went to visit an electric plane company called Beta. Before the shoot, I thought the weight of batteries basically meant electric planes weren’t that useful, and wouldn’t be for a long time. What I learned is that in the last 10 years, we’ve gotten a lot better at making batteries (look at your phone!). Those gains mean electric planes are starting to do more. And that’s a big deal - for carbon emissions and climate change, but also for redesigning how planes look and fly. The future of aviation will look very different than the planes you take today. I couldn’t fly in one of the electric planes (trust me, I tried!), but I did get up in the air another way… To support Huge If True, please consider subscribing: https://www.youtube.com/cleoabram?sub_confirmation=1 Chapters: 00:00 Electric planes are here 00:56 Why are electric planes important? 02:16 Why are there no electric planes? 02:42 Thank you Athletic Greens! 03:36 How do electric planes work? 05:52 What do electric planes look like? 06:42 What is VTOL? 07:48 How do electric planes slow climate change? 09:14 What is the future of airplanes?
