Electra.aero Nabs $1.9M Army Contract for Electric Aircraft Testing
The manufacturer’s flagship, hybrid-electric short takeoff and landing (eSTOL) aircraft requires only the space of a soccer field to launch and touch down.
The manufacturer’s flagship, hybrid-electric short takeoff and landing (eSTOL) aircraft requires only the space of a soccer field to launch and touch down.
The hybrid-electric short takeoff and landing (eSTOL) aircraft manufacturer reached the milestone following orders from JetSetGo, Lygg, and Charm Aviation.
The journey lasted 23 minutes and covered about 30 miles at 3,200 feet in altitude, taking off from the runway at ‘neighborhood driving’ speeds.
The distributed power demonstrated by CORAC-led collaboration between Daher, Safran, and Airbus emerges as a theme in the drive toward a market-ready airplane.
The test vehicle aims to help prove the company’s blown-lift technology.
