The Future of Aviation: Hybrid and Electric Planes Take Flight

People are making new kinds of planes. Some planes use electricity, like electric cars. Other planes use both fuel and electricity. These are called hybrid planes.

A company called Beta made an electric plane named Alia. It flew for 55 minutes using only batteries. This plane can carry things like packages.

Another company, Heart Aerospace, is making a bigger plane. It can use both electricity and fuel. This plane might carry 30 people.

These new planes are important because they can help make flying better for the environment. They make less pollution than normal planes.
