Environmental scientists have found that airplanes account for 2.6% of all global CO2 emissions. Hence, in order to reduce CO2 emissions, it would be helpful to build electric-powered passenger planes for air travel. Therefore, electric passenger planes are the focus of this research. Our methodology included reviewing, analyzing, and summarizing primary sources from peer-reviewed journals and conference publications. We examine and discuss the small-scale electric planes that can currently fly short distances along with the challenges of flying large-scale electric passenger planes for long distances.
