2027 MIGHT SEE ELECTRIC POWERED PLANE

By

It was bound to come so we did see this coming didn't we? Of course we did! Technology has finally taken a big leap by going air borne and sooner than later, yep, in 2027 airplanes will be powered by electricity


According to cnet UK airline EasyJet says it will operate an electric-powered passenger airplane within the next decade.EasyJet today announced a partnership with a US company to develop an all-electric passenger airplane over the next decade. The UK low-cost airline says it will be able to fly the still-unnamed aircraft on 20 percent of its routes across Europe, both reducing carbon emissions and lowering noise levels for communities near airports.
In an interview conducted by cnet, California-based Wright Electric says it will design and build an airliner with electric motors in the wings that will draw power from batteries. The company, which already demonstrated a two-seater electric airplane, plans to complete the first prototype of a commercial-scale aircraft by 2021.

In a statement, EasyJet CEO Carolyn McCall, said the ultimate goal is to reduce the aviation industry's impact on the environment. "For the first time we can envisage a future without jet fuel...it is now more a matter of when, not if, a short haul electric plane will fly."


Wright says the aircraft will seat between 120 to 220 passengers, but for now at least, CEO Jeffrey Engler would not elaborate on the engine technology or on how much electricity it would take to power them. The maximum range of the airliner would be 335 miles (540km) making it capable of flying such routers as Amsterdam to London, Berlin to Vienna and Milan to Rome

FIFA CRUSHES PES AND RETAINS TITLE AS KING OF FOOTBALL GAME

By
"In North America, if you say  FIFA , the majority of people will think of us rather than the actual governing body." The unabashed view of Matthew Prior, FIFA's creative director, explains why EA Sports' FIFA is king. But how did the game consumed by so many become the definitive, market leader, when a decade ago it had a major rival for gamers' eyes, ears and dollars in the shape of Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer? The studio has inevitably benefited from its unique licensing contracts with brands, players and the governing body. Its grip on the living, breathing world of football via its online platform has entrenched the status quo. Yet PES has sustained a reputation as something bordering on a cult hit, with gameplay that continues to score strongly with audiences. It cannot, though, translate its cultural currency into sales.
