You Could Be Flying To Work Soon!

Across the world, companies are working on building electric planes or flying taxis, either to carry goods or passengers. In India, Ubifly Technologies Private Limited, better known as The ePlane Company (TEC), is at the forefront of this sector. The company was founded in 2016 by Pranjal Mehta and Satyanarayanan Chakravarthy to provide aerial delivery services. A hybrid of drone and electric airplane technology, the startup is focused on building electric planes and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for short-range intracity travels and is aimed at redefining urban mobility. Join in on the conversation between Professor Satyanarayanan and RJ Kay as they break down the future of drone and electric airplane technology. Professor Satyanarayanan has been teaching Aerospace Engineering at IIT Madras since 1998. He is also the head of the National Centre for Combustion Research & Development Lab (NCCRD) and the Centre of Propulsion Technology at IIT Madras. His study on propulsion was one of the reasons that led to the launch of TEC.
