It is not only the cost of fuel that needs to be considered when comparing electric aircrafts with conventional ones. It is also essential to consider the impact on the environment. The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, used data from NASA’s Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) to assess the impact of different types of aircraft on the environment. The researchers concluded that the emissions from electric aircrafts are half those of conventional aircrafts.
