Currently, many companies around the world are providing airplanes powered by electricity. But an all-electric airplane race is taking this to a whole new level. And that’s what Air Race E, which is being operated by Air Race Events, is doing right now.

Every year, Air Race Events holds Air Race 1 World Cup, indicating high-speed entertainment and aerial spectacles. And in 2020, the race will begin to allow all-electric airplanes.
This move is clearly following the goal of this organization which is posted on its website, saying it works to bring out entertainment to millions of people, helps industry partners with technology development and promotes cleaner power.
However, the concept hasn’t been ready for application yet. The organization is still designing the electric plane and hasn’t decided on partnerships as well as sponsors for the 2020 race. Air Race is likely to conduct this all-electric race the same way it does in the current races, with the same instructions for a single electric motor powered light and fancy plane specifically for racing.
This all-electric race can be a great motivation for the industry of electric aviation, provided that the event will serve as a foundation for every plane to showcase their power in the sky.

in a new partnership with race organizers Air Race E.
For those who are not familiar with this field, Air Race 1 World Cup is a formula-one air racing contest where pilots’ skills are tested. Eight pilots with their airplanes compete against each other at 450 kilometers per hour, on a race circuit just 1.5 kilometers end to end. The pilots have to fly their planes on a 10-meter high circuit that all audience can watch. The aircraft to cross the finish lines first after eight laps wins the race.
Gold Coast aviation technology company MagniX has recently announced that it is working on creating short flights powered by electricity, which may come true in the next four years.
