A
 Seattle-area startup backed by the venture capital arms of Boeing and 
JetBlue Airways has announced plans to begin selling a hybrid-electric 
commuter aircraft by 2022. 
The small plane is the first of several
 planned by Zunum Aero, which said it would seat up to 12 passengers and
 be powered by two electric motors, dramatically reducing the travel 
time and cost of trips under 1,000 miles (1,600km). 
Zunum’s plans 
and timetable underscore a rush to develop small electric aircraft based
 on rapidly evolving battery technology and artificial intelligence 
systems that avoid obstacles on a road or in the sky. 
In a 
separate but related development, Boeing said on Thursday it planned to 
acquire a company that specialises in electric and autonomous flight to 
help its own efforts to develop such aircraft. 
Several companies, including Uber Technologies and European planemaker Airbus, are working on electric self-flying cars. 
Zunum
 does not expect to be the first to certify an electric-powered aircraft
 with regulators. Rather, it is aiming to fill a market gap for regional
 travel by airlines, where private jets and commercial jetliners are too
 costly for many to use. 
Zunum’s planes would be intended to fly 
from thousands of small airports around big cities to cut regional 
travel times and costs. 
“Airlines are very keen to know how to fly
 a shorter distance and make money on it,” said Matt Knapp, co-founder 
and chief aeronautic engineer of the Kirkland, Washington-based company. 
A
 flight from Silicon Valley to Los Angeles, for instance, would leave 
from Palo Alto, San Carlos, Hayward or Reid Hillview airports and arrive
 in Santa Monica, Burbank, Hawthorne or San Gabriel Valley airports. The
 cost would be about $120 one way, the company said. 
The travel 
time of over four hours would be cut in half by avoiding the crowds and 
security lines at big hubs that are required for larger planes. About 
96% of US air traffic travels through 1% of its airports, leaving 
thousands of small airports virtually untapped, Knapp said. 
Electric-vehicle
 batteries, such as those made by Tesla and Panasonic, would power 
Zunum’s motors, although Zunum has no commitment with either company. A 
supplemental jet-fuel engine and electrical generator would be used to 
give the plane a range of 700 miles and ensure it stayed aloft after the
 batteries are exhausted, Knapp said. 
Zunum plans to make a larger
 plane seating up to 50 passengers at the end of the next decade, and 
the range of both would increase to about 1,000 miles as battery 
technology improved, Knapp said. 
The planes eventually would fly 
solely on battery power and were being designed to fly with one pilot 
and to eventually be remotely piloted, he said. 
Recent advances in
 battery technology, lightweight electric motors and carbon composite 
airframes would cut the cost of flying Zunum’s aircraft to about eight 
cents per seat-mile, about one-fifth that of a small jet or turboprop 
plane, Knapp said. 
“We’re getting airline pricing down on a small 
plane and doing it for short distances,” Knapp said. “That kind of 
aircraft doesn’t currently exist.” 
Zunum first announced its plans
 for hybrid-electric aircraft in April, and revealed that Boeing 
HorizonX and JetBlue Technology Ventures had invested in its initial 
round of venture funding. On Thursday it disclosed specifications and a 
timetable for the vehicle entering service. 
Zunum says the plane 
would cruise at about 340mph (550kph) and at altitudes of about 25,000 
feet (7,600 meters) – slower and lower than conventional jets. 
The
 motor, which Zunum is designing, will drive a fan similar to the bypass
 fan on a jet engine, but without a jet’s combustion. Zunum has started 
talks with plane makers about building the airframe, and it is building 
non-flying prototypes of the powertrain to test batteries, the 
electrical system, software and other components, Knapp said. 
Current
 battery technology can only power the plane for about 100 miles so a 
fuel-powered engine would be used to generate electricity to power the 
motors for additional range.
