Additionally, scaling up manufacturing capabilities to support commercialization of ultralight and light electric aircraft will be a crucial factor. Key trends expected to influence the market include enhancements in battery energy density, the design of lightweight aerostructures, expansion of regional electric air transport services, integration of electric aircraft into UAM systems, and broader hybrid-electric propulsion adoption.

Understanding Electric Aircraft and Their Components
Electric aircraft are defined as air vehicles powered by batteries that supply energy to electric motors instead of traditional jet fuel engines. These aircraft use electric motors to convert electrical energy into mechanical power required for flight, with batteries serving as the primary energy source. This technology represents a shift from conventional combustion engines toward cleaner and more sustainable air travel options.
