Electric-powered flight could improve safety, fuel efficiency and convenience, but innovators first have to clear regulatory hurdles and make the technology be accepted as part of daily life, a panel of aviation executives and officials said during the "Aircraft Electric Propulsion: Transforming Aviation" session. Auto makers are leading the way in electric and hybrid electric transportation, but aviation firms have yet to win over consumers and regulators who have "grandfathered in" gasoline as the accepted aircraft fuel, said Joseph Oldham, director of the San Joaquin Valley Clean Transportation Center for CALSTART. The nonprofit Oldham works for is dedicated to the growth of clean transportation technologies.
