Wright Electric is developing megawatt-scale electric propulsion systems for commercial aircraft. Their flagship project, the Wright Spirit, aims to convert a 100-passenger BAe 146 to all-electric propulsion with a 460-mile range by 2026. The company has successfully tested a 2MW motor at simulated high altitudes and plans to launch the Wright 1, a 186-seat electric airliner with an 800-mile range, by 2030.
