Electra Aero eSTOL
- Battery Capacity:
- Propulsion System: Hybrid-electric system (battery + turbine generator)
- Service Ceiling (Max Altitude): 6,500 ft
- Takeoff / Landing Type: 150 ft
PROS
- Ultra-short takeoff/landing (150 ft): Operates from small fields or urban strips.
- Hybrid system: Allows extended range and no ground-charging dependency.
- Distributed propulsion: Improves lift, efficiency, and redundancy.
- Low noise (≈75 dBA): Quiet operations suitable for community and city use.
- High range (1,100 nm): Greater than most eVTOL competitors.
- Sustainable design: Significantly reduces emissions vs traditional turboprops.
CONS
- Limited public data: Many specifications (battery, weight, etc.) not yet disclosed.
- Still in prototype phase: Certification expected post-2028.
- Complex hybrid system: May increase maintenance and cost.
- Lower altitude ceiling: Demonstrator tested only up to 6,500 ft.
- No published price: Hard to gauge cost-to-performance ratio yet.
