Eviation Aircraft made a special plane. It is called Alice. The plane is fully electric(全电动的). It is very quiet. And it’s friendly to our natural world.

Last week, it took off in Washington, US. It travelled about eight minutes in the air. Nine passengers(乘客) and two pilots can be on the plane at the same time.

The plane is very different. It is cheap to fly the plane. But making them is expensive. No one knows if electric planes will be a normal(平常的) way to travel.
