A Closer Look at Blown-Lift with Electra's Ultra Short Aircraft

Electra’s EL9 Ultra Short aircraft uses hybrid-electric blown-lift technology to deliver both ultra short takeoffs and landings and the long range the market demands. Electric motors power the blown wing, which enables the aircraft to take off and land in under 150 ft. The hybrid system combines the best of batteries and a turbogenerator to deliver power with maximum efficiency in all phases of the flight. ‍We’re proud of the aircraft we’re building here at Electra. An aircraft that unlocks the era of Direct Aviation – quiet, sustainable, point-to-point travel that gets you exactly where you want to go.
