Today’s Patent – Method for converting an airplane with a combustion engine to an electrical reaction propulsion airplane

The said invention (US12024303B2) was invented by Luca De Israeli, patented by USPTO on 19-12-2021. Currently, it stands assigned to Individual.

The present disclosed subject matter relates to electrical airplanes. More particularly, the present disclosed subject matter relates to conversion of conventional airplanes to electrical propulsion airplanes.

With the growing oil price and environmental concerns, there is a need to provide electric airplane that are powered by rechargeable batteries. There is a large number of prior art airplanes that are using prior art thermic reaction propulsion engines that are thus becoming obsolete. There is a need to use those airplanes so as to prevent their waste.

A method for converting a conventional airplane having at least one thermic reaction propulsion engine and at least one fuel tank fluidly connected through fuel pipes to an electric propulsion airplane comprises: removing the at least one thermic reaction propulsion engine from the conventional airplane; replacing the at least one thermic reaction propulsion engine used for propelling the conventional airplane with at least one electric engine; removing the at least one fuel tank from the conventional airplane; implanting at least one rechargeable battery instead of the at least one fuel tank; and electrically connecting the at least one electric engine and the at least one rechargeable battery.
