The aviation industry is looking for its own Tesla.
Decarbonization and the industry goal of "net zero"

The aviation industry is on the brink of a silver-powered revolution, a potential that is as electrifying as the search for its own Tesla.
Week after week, we continue to prove that in aerospace, solar energy, electronics, robotics, electric vehicles, electric trains, hospital equipment, aviation industry (and thousands of other applications); there is no match for the unparalleled or unrivaled properties of silver.
Silver is the critical connector for electronic circuitry in the aviation and aerospace industry.
No other metal on the periodic table of elements combines conductivity, reflectivity, ductility, corrosion resistance, thermal integrity and malleability in quite the same way.
And now, silver is poised to take the lead in the electric aircraft revolution, a role that promises a bright and sustainable future.
Electric planes (just like electric vehicles) are not possible without Silver.
This race on who will emerge as “The Tesla of airplanes.” Innovators within the aviation industry have designs that will launch reducing the aircraft’s carbon footprint and lead pollution.
Here are five electric aircraft expected to take to the skies soon:
1. Pipistrel's Velis Electro, a twin-seater with a range of approximately 50 minutes and a ceiling of 12,000 feet, has already received type certification.
2. Eviation's Alice, a nine-seat regional aircraft engineered for a range of 250 nautical miles, aims for entry into service by 2027.
3. The EcoPulse aircraft demonstrator, a hybrid-electric project from Airbus, Daher, and Safran, has made its first flight.
4. Ampaire's Eco Caravan, a hybrid-electric conversion of the Cessna Caravan, has set a hybrid flight endurance record of 12 hours.
5. The Diamond eDA40, an electric trainer aircraft based on the DA40 platform.
And there are others:
Electric planes vary in readiness and use cases, but all require silver in the circuitry and power systems. Each of these products represent crucial steps towards a cleaner aviation industry by reducing emissions and transitioning away from leaded fuel.
