Abstract

This paper explores the technological advancements in electric vehicles (EVs) and their potential applications in electric aviation. Core EV technologies such as battery systems, electric motors, and electronic control systems are analyzed to understand their relevance to aviation. The evolution of various battery types, including lithium-ion, solid-state, and next-generation alternatives, is emphasized, focusing on their critical role in addressing energy density challenges that electric aircraft will face. Additionally, this paper discusses the technical, regulatory, and manufacturing hurdles that must be overcome for electric aviation to become commercially viable. From battery weight and endurance limitations to energy-efficient propulsion systems, the complexities of translating EV innovations to aviation are assessed. The paper concludes by examining future possibilities for electric aviation, highlighting how breakthroughs in EV technology could lead to sustainable air travel. Through this lens, the technological trajectory of EVs provides key insights into the opportunities and challenges of developing electric aircraft.
