The idea of a Tesla airplane has long been the subject of rumors and speculation. Elon Musk had already mentioned this possibility in several interviews and public appearances. However, very few concrete details have leaked out so far. It was only with this official presentation that the world finally discovered Tesla’s futuristic vision for electric aviation.
The device, called Tesla Air, features a revolutionary design, combining elegance and technological innovation. Its fuselage is designed in ultra-light carbon fiber, which allows for maximum aerodynamic efficiency. Its aerodynamic wings are optimized to increase lift and significantly reduce air resistance. But the most striking feature is its fully electric propulsion system, a true technological feat.
The Tesla Air is powered by a state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery, developed in-house by Tesla. This battery offers an impressive range, allowing the aircraft to travel up to 1,000 kilometers on a single charge. In addition, integrated fast charging allows for recharging in less than 45 minutes. A revolution that could transform air transport.
During the presentation, Elon Musk highlighted the environmental benefits of this aircraft. “The aviation sector is one of the largest contributors to carbon emissions worldwide. “With the Tesla Air, we are opening a new era of clean, quiet and more efficient flights,” he said to thunderous applause.
