Electric propulsion pioneer Ampaire has taken its Electric EEL technology demonstrator to Hawaii to evaluate how it will perform on airline routes. Local operator Mokulele Airlines is helping the company to define what preparations will have to be made for hybrid-electric aircraft to enter commercial service on scheduled routes by around 2023.
