Part 4/6:
The Climate Impulse boasts impressive specifications with a wingspan comparable to that of an Airbus A320. It weighs approximately 5.5 tons and can fly at speeds of 180 km/h (about 100 knots) at altitudes around 10,000 feet (or 3,000 meters). Not only is the aircraft designed for efficiency, but it also operates at altitudes where it can harness energy from atmospheric turbulence, turning what would usually be a challenge into an opportunity for sustainable energy production.
Incorporating turbulence energy into its flight could signify a momentous shift in how airlines operate. The potential for airlines to draw energy from the atmosphere could lead to significant reductions in fuel consumption and operational costs in the future.
