Electric and Sustainable Aviation

Researchers at the University of Waterloo are envisioning the future of sustainable aviation and it is electric. With support from the Government of Canada, the Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Aeronautics (WISA) has been testing batteries that power one of Canada's electric planes over the past two years. Their findings show these batteries perform effectively under the country's demanding and ever-changing weather conditions.
