Dutch startup Elysian plans 100-seat electric airliner by 2034

Dutch startup Elysian Aircraft is developing the E9X, a battery-electric airliner designed with TU Delft to carry up to 100 passengers as far as 1,000 km. Batteries sit in its oversized wings, powering six propellers. Elysian says the range covers nearly half of scheduled flights and could cut aviation emissions by 20%. It has flown a scaled demonstrator with Germany's DLR.
