Eviation Aircraft this week unveiled the revised design for its Alice all-electric aircraft, confirming its plans to complete FAA type certification in time for entry into service in 2024. In an announcement on July 1, the company said the aircraft will make its first test before the end of this year.

The newly published design drawings reveal significant changes from an earlier prototype, with a new T-tail configuration replacing a distinctive V-shaped tail. The Alice’s two MagniX Magni650 electric propulsion units (EPUs) have been relocated from the wingtips to a pylon mount at the rear of the fuselage.
