France-Paris Air Show/Green Mobility
Paris, France - Recent (CGTN - No access Chinese mainland)
1. Various of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft on display
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Steve Brecken, communications and public relations leader, Eve Air Mobility (starting with shot 1):
"This aircraft is all electric. It's got four blades to reduce the sound and vibration. There's no emissions from the aircraft whatsoever and during the manufacturing process the aircraft is equipped with a water-based paint, so it's water soluble."
3. Various of aircraft on display
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Arthur Leopold-Leger, founder, Elixir Aircraft (starting with shot 3):
"Our objective is to decarbonize the training of future commercial pilots. So we have major innovation on the way we build the aircraft today that allows us to reduce by 70 percent the impact, the CO2 impact of the training for future commercial pilots."

Green air mobility, represented by air taxis and trainer aircraft with carbon-free power systems, is a major highlight at the ongoing 55th Paris Air Show at Le Bourget Airport, underscoring global de-carbonization efforts.
The air show, running from June 16 to 22, is participatied by about 2,400 exhibitors from 48 countries and regions. Organizers expect the total vistior numbers to hit 300,000 this years.
One of the highlights at this year's show is new developments in air mobility, with next generation air taxis almost ready to take flight.
Unveiled at the show, it is the newest way of getting from A to B - but in the sky.
The Eve Air Mobility flying taxi is expected to enter service in 2027, after securing substantial funding from some of the world's biggest aerospace companies, including Embraer, which has been assisting with development, design and certification.
While the Eve Air Mobility taxis haven't yet taken flight, orders for them are sky high, with 2,800 units already sold due to increased demand for sustainable travel.
"This aircraft is all electric. It's got four blades to reduce the sound and vibration. There's no emissions from the aircraft whatsoever and during the manufacturing process the aircraft is equipped with a water-based paint, so it's water soluble," said Steve Brecken, communications and public relations leader of Eve Air Mobility.
From taxis to trainer aircraft, sustainability features are pulling in big sales.
Since securing European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification just five years ago, France-based Elixir Aircraft now has a backlog of more than 300 orders.
French pilot training school ENAC signed for 30 Elixir aircraft.
"Our objective is to decarbonize the training of future commercial pilots. So we have major innovation on the way we build the aircraft today that allows us to reduce by 70 percent the impact, the CO2 impact of the training for future commercial pilots," said Arthur Leopold-Leger, founder of Elixir Aircraft.
As greener alternatives continue to emerge within the aviation sector, the industry goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 seems increasingly attainable.
Inaugurated in 1909, the biennial Paris Air Show is the world's largest in the aerospace sector, embodying excellence, innovation, and international cooperation in the industry.
