EL9

Electra has developed an ultra-short take-off and landing aircraft (ultraSTOL) with hybrid-electric capabilities. The EL9 aircraft can operate from surfaces smaller than typical supermarket parking lots, offering new approaches to regional air mobility.

Bristow Group has signed a purchase agreement with Electra.aero for five EL9 ultra short takeoff and landing hybrid-electric aircraft plus options for an additional 45 aircraft. A multi-million-dollar pre-delivery deposit was placed to secure the first delivery slot.
