Vertical is pioneering electric flight to future zero carbon aviation

Hundreds of commercial drone and electric-vertical aircraft programs are driving advances in electric motors, power distribution, positioning systems, tele networking, and cockpit/mission systems.

Flying cars, or electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL). The autonomous emissions electric vertical aircraft using artificial intelligence to not only fly the aircraft safely in the air and around other airborne vehicles but also to take commands from its passengers as well. The AirCar is envisioned to be a completely autonomous AI all-electric eVTOL aircraft.

Sahit Muja added that; The magnificent Magnesium is revolutionizing entire industries with unmatched strong and light alloys. The aerospace industry has a long history of using magnesium in many applications both civil and military , in the manufacture of aircraft, rockets, and space satellites.

Magnesium is an ideal material : The weight reduction of all industrial products is of high importance, magnesium alloys are the lightest structural alloys .

Stainless magnesium, a group of scientists from the Helmholtz Centre in Germany have created an magnesium alloy with an exceptionally low corrosion rate , magnesium with tiny amounts of calcium.

Due to its low weight, high strength, abundance in the Earth’s crust and excellent electrochemical properties, magnesium is widely used in automotive, aerospace, electronic, biomedical and energy-storage applications.

The magnesium’s weight makes it attractive from a sustainable perspective on all application of all types of mobility. Magnesium is significantly lighter than aluminum, so replacing aluminum with stainless magnesium in cars and airplanes could reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

The US Army Research Laboratory and the University of North Texas, has developed a magnesium alloy that has the potential to replace steel and aluminum alloys in the automobile, and many other industries.

The magnesium has the highest known damping capacity of any structural metal over 10 times greater than steel, titanium, or aluminum.

Sushanta Kumar Panigrahi, Associate Professor at Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Madras said; “The new alloy is not only strong, but also very ductile and that its superplasticity is achieved at higher strain-rates, which enables a reduction in the total costs, efforts, and the time taken to manufacture”.

Panigrahi said, “In addition to this, it is also lightweight, which helps lower the carbon footprint of vehicles. Lightweight vehicles need lesser fuel to run and are therefore more fuel efficient. In view of the compelling needs for economical usage of scarce energy resources and ever-stricter control over emissions to lower environmental impact, automotive and aerospace industries are searching for alternative advanced light-weight structural materials to existing conventional materials. Being one of the lightest and energy-efficient structural materials, magnesium alloys are potential candidates to replace steel and aluminum alloys in automotive and aerospace components since their density is two-thirds of aluminum and one-quarter of steel.”

“Magnesium is building blocks for the future. Albanian Minerals is working with the best scientist’s teams globally to utilize over 100 billion tons of green high quality magnesium, the world’s largest magnesium resource”. Sahit Muja said.

Magnesium is the future metal: Lighter than aluminum, magnesium has the highest strength to weight ratio of all structural metals. Magnesium is abundant and very easily recyclable. Magnesium has replaced steel and aluminum in many application and is used extensively in alloys.

Magnesium can be cast into various mechanical parts and replace aluminum alloys for virtually anything you want to make lighter and stronger.

Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM in Dresden have come up with an interesting new way to store and carry hydrogen energy, in the form of a magnesium hydride-based “Powerpaste” that stores the hydrogen in a chemical form, at atmospheric pressure, ready for release when needed.
