WHAT IS ESTOL?
OUR MISSION
Decarbonize aviation.
Expand markets.
Electra builds aircraft to help decarbonize aviation. Our journey begins with a hybrid-electric, short takeoff and landing (eSTOL) aircraft designed to make regional air mobility more accessible. Our eSTOL aircraft uses our patented blown-lift technology to take off and land in spaces as small as 300x100ft, providing operational flexibility comparable to a helicopter, yet with the safety and economics of a fixed-wing aircraft.
The hybrid-electric propulsion system gives operators maximum flexibility to optimize the choice of energy use, with electric power for clean, quiet operations near populated areas, low to no fuel burn on shorter routes, and a hybrid mix to fly longer routes and comply with regulatory reserve requirements.
PERFORMANCE
Electra’s eSTOL:
A new category of aircraft
Operations from soccer field-sized spaces with the simplicity of a fixed-wing aircraft.
Electra’s eSTOL uses a fraction of the space needed for a conventional aircraft to take off and land. Access the smallest airstrips, barges or converted parking lots to open up air service to many more communities.
TECH DEMONSTRATOR
Technology that is proven in flight
Our eSTOL technology demonstrator aircraft is undergoing extensive flight testing, proving the performance and safety of the blown-lift and hybrid-electric propulsion technology. Electra’s tech demonstrator is a piloted two-seat aircraft, rated for flight testing with people onboard.
TRAVEL TRANSFORMED
Reimagine regional mobility Affordable. Community friendly.
Get closer to where people depart from and where they need to go. Electra’s eSTOL technology makes regional air travel practical and affordable for trips up to 500 miles. Our ability to get in and out of small spaces with quiet, decarbonized flight opens air service to underserved communities. Access small airports, vertiports, or locations without a traditional runway.
