Pioneering
Direct Aviation
Air travel without airports, emissions, or noise.
Connect seamlessly.
Expand markets.
Electra builds aircraft that bring air travel closer to where we live, work, and play. Our journey begins with Ultra Short aircraft designed to make regional air mobility more accessible.
Our Ultra Short aircraft uses patented blown-lift technology to take off and land in lengths as short as 150 ft, providing operational flexibility comparable to a helicopter yet with the improved safety and the 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 fuel reserve requirements.
Electra’s
Ultra Short:
A new category of aircraft
Operations from soccer field-sized spaces with the simplicity of a fixed-wing aircraft.
Electra’s Ultra Short technology combines the best of aviation, enabling takeoff and landing in incredibly short distances, to go where today only helicopters can go, without compromising on speed or range. Yet safer and quieter.
Electra’s Ultra Short aircraft 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.
Technology that
is proven in flight
Our Ultra Short 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.
