Revolutionizing Regional Air Mobility With Electric Power
Electra is making waves in the aviation industry with its ultra-short take-off and landing (ultraSTOL) aircraft, the EL9. This nine-seater plane can operate from surfaces as small as a typical supermarket parking lot, opening up new use cases in both civilian and military worlds. Electra has filed for Part 23 certification with the FAA and has already collected pre-orders from over 60 customers, including Bristow Group, a major helicopter operator. The company’s innovative approach to regional air mobility was discussed with Diana Siegel, VP Commercial at Electra, during the CAPA Airline Leader Summit World in Lisbon. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
