Electra.aero has successfully completed off-runway grass field test flights of our EL-2 Goldfinch hybrid #eSTOL aircraft. These test flights proved our aircraft’s ability to operate from minimally prepared fields smaller than 300 ft, with a maximum performance climb-out of 32 degrees, and an impressively quiet 55-decibel overflight at 500 feet. At typical cruise altitudes, Goldfinch is inaudible over background noise. This dual-use technology is perfect for Agile Combat Employment and expeditionary missions, offering fuel efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and minimal environmental impact. Small, affordable, runway-independent eSTOL aircraft could also alleviate demand on larger, few-in-number, high performance fixed wing and rotorcraft platforms in a contested logistics environment. ✈ Watch the video and learn more at the link below! #AdvancedAirMobility #Aviation #Sustainability #AgileCombatEmployment https://lnkd.in/eXtS4nXd
