A very intense video: Engine failure in a light aircraft in the USA.

Professional pilot and his student, took off on a seaplane from Williamsburg airport (Virginia) to Eustis (Florida).

After ten minutes of flight the engine failed. The pilot had to urgently land the aircraft in a cornfield.

There were no casualties.

American aircraft maker Boeing has boosted the confidence of electric flying taxi maker Wisk by investing a further $450 million in its mission to build an autonomous and electric vertical take-off and landing. California-based Wisk is already owned by Boeing and Kitty Hawk, a firm founded by Larry Page.

eVTOLs are the next big thing in urban mobility. Even as Elon Musk takes the laborious approach of boring tunnels under the ground to move within the city, startups are taking to the skies to solve the problem of congestion on the roads. Aiding their progress is the NASA in the U.S., which has helped startups conduct flight tests for their air vehicle concepts and even experiment with fuel sources like hydrogen.

Rolls-Royce's new 2.5-megawatt hybrid-electric propulsion system delivered more than a megawatt of power only a few weeks after its first tests.

The iconic British engineering firm is developing the Power Generation System 1 (PGS1) demonstrator powertrain to test the technology for clean aircraft of the future.

PGS1 is designed primarily for hybrid-electric planes and Rolls-Royce says it could be used in a "more-electric" system for larger aircraft allowing for a more practical transition into electric aviation, which is currently hindered by the limitations of battery technology. NASA's experimental all-electric X-57 light aircraft, for example, can only fly for 40 minutes at a time.
