After three years of intensive studies covering the entire lifecycle of an all-electric aircraft, Tecnam has concluded that the time for the P-Volt is not yet ripe and decided to postopne the programme. Although research activities will continue to explore new emerging technologies.
- We don’t feel attracted by the “2026“ stream or any Electric Rush. It has always been our culture to commit to achievable goals with customers and operators, and we intend to keep that promise. We hope that new technologies will make businesses viable sooner rather than later, and we have real confidence in our partners' ability to bring highly valuable products to the zero-emission powertrain and energy storage arena - said Fabio Russo, Tecnam`s Chief R&D Officer.
Since the beginning of the P-Volt development, Tecnam’s focus has been to provide operators with the ability to fly an all-electric passenger aircraft profitably, efficiently and sustainably in terms of operating costs, emissions, performance, turnaround and time to market. At present, Tecnam believes that these can only be achieved by extremely aggressive speculation on uncertain technology developments.

Unfortunately the U.S. doesn’t currently refine silicon, and hasn’t produced ingots since the facility formerly owned by Solarworld shut down, but hopefully these things too will soon change.
Which companies are making solar panels in the United States? The United States is hopefully, fingers crossed, entering a solar module manufacturing renaissance. After having its domestic supply decimated by China’s
