The world's first fully electric passenger plane is being prepared for flight.

A very advanced aircraft which is being called Alice and it is developed by the Israelite company Eviation, has just completed its first motoric test in the Communal Arlington Airport, north of Seattle

According to the CEO of the Eviation company, Omer Bar-Yohay, Alice is only a few weeks away from her first flight, Telegrafi reports.

With battery technology similar to that of an electric car or mobile phone and 30 minutes to charge, the nine-passenger Alice aircraft will be able to fly for an hour and about 440 nautical miles.

The company, focusing exclusively on electric air travel, hopes that electric planes with 20 to 40 passengers will become a reality in seven to 10 years.
