FlyOnE, founded by Korum Ellis, aims to decarbonize Australian general aviation by implementing electric aircraft, particularly through pilot training.
In collaboration with Cloud Dancer Pilot Training, FlyOnE launched Australia's first electric recreational pilot course using the Pipistrel Alpha Electro, approved by Australian aviation authorities, offering significant cost savings for aspiring pilots.
The initiative demonstrates the practical viability of electric flight training, including understanding operational limits, and was highlighted by Ellis conducting Australia's first electric passenger aircraft flight over Sydney.
