Eviation Aircraft ma Massachusetts-based Cape Air ua faʻasalalau se Tusi o le Faʻamoemoe (LOI) mo le faʻatauina o le 75 Alice commuter vaalele uma. Faatasi ai ma lenei faʻauiga, ua faʻamoemoe Cape Air e faʻatūina se vaʻa eletise faʻaitulagi e le mafaatusalia, ma faia se laʻasaga paionia i le vaitau gafataulimaina o vaalele.

E mafai e le Eviation's all-electric Alice va'alele e mafai ona ofi le iva pasese ma le auvaa e to'alua. O le Cape Air e sili atu i le 400 malaga faʻaitulagi i le aso i le lata i le 40 aai i Northeast, Midwest, Montana ma Caribbean. O le tu'uina atu o se va'a o vaalele uma-eletise Alice o le a matua fa'aitiitia ai le fa'aosoina o le carbon, fa'apea fo'i ma le tausiga ma le fa'atinoina o tau mo le kamupani va'alele, ma maua ai se va'alele malie ma filemu mo pasese.

"E moni lava vaalele gafataulimaina e le gata e faʻaitiitia ai le aʻafiaga o femalagaaiga i luga o le ea i luga o le siʻosiʻomaga ae faʻapea foi ona faʻatautaia pisinisi," o le tala lea a Jessica Pruss, Sui Peresetene o Faʻatauga i Eviation. "Matou te mitamita e lagolagoina Cape Air, o se taʻitaʻi aloaʻia i femalagaaiga faʻaitulagi, e faʻataʻatia se auala fou i le tuʻuina atu o fofo fou e manuia ai kamupani vaalele, pasese, nuʻu ma sosaiete."

"O Cape Air o loʻo tumau le tuuto i le faʻaauau, tuputupu aʻe, ma le faʻafouina, ma o la matou faiga faapaaga ma Eviation e mafai ai ona avea nei tautinoga ma mea moni," o le tala lea a le Peresetene ma le Pule Sili o Cape Air Linda Markham. "O a matou tagata faʻatau o le a taulamua i tala faʻasolopito o vaalele ma o matou nuʻu o le a manuia mai femalagaaiga e leai se faʻaoso."

O le Eviation Alice o le ta'uta'ua o vaalele eletise atoa i le lalolagi, ua fuafuaina e lele 440 maila tautai i luga o le tau e tasi ma e maualuga le saoasaoa o le folauga e 250 knots. O le a galue Alice i siosiomaga uma o loʻo tautuaina e le piston ma le turbine vaalele. O afi eletise maualuga e itiiti ni vaega feʻaveaʻi e faʻateleina ai le faʻamaoni ma faʻaitiitia le tau o le tausiga. O le polokalama fa'aogaina a Alice e mata'ituina pea le fa'atinoga o le va'alele ina ia mautinoa le lelei atoatoa.

“O Cape Air o lo'o tausisia pea se tautinoga loloto i tiute fa'aagafesootai. I le avea ai ma se lagolago muamua o femalagaiga uma-eletise, matou te tuuto atu i le taʻitaʻia o le alamanuia agai i se lumanaʻi gafataulimaina, "o le tala lea a le Cape Air Board Chairman, Dan Wolf. "Faʻatasi ai ma le Eviation, o loʻo matou fatuina le isi augatupulaga o femalagaiga i luga o le ea, lea o le a avea ai le vaalele eletise ma tulaga faʻapisinisi."
