What the Project Is
THE NEXT TRILLION-EURO SHIFT IN MOBILITY. Flying is faster than driving. And when it becomes as cheap, mass adoption isn’t a dream – it’s inevitable. ELECTRON aerospace designs, manufactures and sells clean sheet battery electric aircraft. ELECTRON holding was founded in 2021 as an integrated electric aircraft manufacturer (ELECTRON aerospace) and regional air mobility operator (ELECTRON aviation). The mission is to make zero-emission, on-demand, everyday air travel a reality. On the ground, the average is two people per car. Taking that logic to the skies means a car-sized aircraft – efficient, electric, and built to scale – that redefines private transport in the most radical way.
Main Benefits
The efficiency of the E5 aircraft is at the core of its revolutionary design. Once performance and price align, adoption becomes unstoppable. Key figures demonstrate that:
- 70% faster travel
- 95% fewer emissions
- 85% lower costs
- 750 km operating range (plus reserves)
- Capacity for 5 people plus luggage
- Cruising speed of 350 km/h
- CO2 emissions of less than 20g/PKM
- Noise levels below 55 dBA
- 100% cool air conditioning
Game-Changing Electric Performance
THE E5: GAME CHANGING ALL ELECTRIC PERFORMANCE. Efficiency is vital in air mobility, and the E5 aircraft is engineered to be very aerodynamically efficient – inspired by the graceful Albatross. With sleek, head-turning design and an operational range of 750 km at service entry, it covers 50% of private flights while proving that electric mobility in the skies isn’t just a futuristic concept but an achievable present-day reality. The aircraft brings together clean design and high performance, ensuring that air travel can be both fast and environmentally friendly.
Market-Ready and Pragmatic Innovation
PRAGMATISM ENSURES MARKET ENTRY BY 2028. Driven to make the biggest impact, the approach transforms private flying into the greenest mode of transportation. With renewable energy powering its engines, the E5 aircraft reduces CO2 emissions by as much as 98% – a huge leap toward sustainability. Real use cases have been unlocked with today’s batteries, proving that long-range, efficient air mobility isn’t confined to theory but is ready for practical application. The design includes a full-size cargo door for easy boarding, quick loading of cargo on pallets, and even accommodating patients on stretchers. The aircraft is compact and versatile; it’s ideal for pilot training as well as for regional air travel, ready to serve as the future workhorse of the skies.
Global Support and Scalable Production
BACKED BY CUSTOMERS WORLDWIDE and supported by a robust network of launch customers, the E5 aircraft is viewed as the most realistic project in advanced air mobility today. An impressed investor crowd witnessed a design update in late January after the Electron 5 design update “leaked” recently in Steve Varsano’s video – a sign of how busy the design and engineering teams have been behind the scenes. Integration is essential for hyper-scaling, and in-house aircraft production allows rapid scaling while outpacing competitors who struggle to buy aircraft. A single aircraft type not only streamlines production but also ensures a consistent customer experience and operational efficiency – a significant advantage over mixed fleets.
Driving Impact Through Sustainable Innovation
The project isn’t just about pushing technology forward; it’s about making a real, measurable difference. Powered by renewable energy and backed by modern design principles, the project transforms “flying private” into a mode of transport with dramatically reduced carbon footprints. Born from real-life challenges like heavy carbon footprints, high costs, and limited transport options, the mission isn’t simply to dream of carbon-neutral flights by 2050 but to take real action this decade. The E5 aircraft stands out as not only a technological marvel but also as a sustainable solution with the potential for global regional air mobility.
Project Impact on Sustainability
- SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy – Maximizing the use of renewable energy sources for propulsion.
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – Advancing next-generation, clean sheet electric aircraft design and manufacturing.
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities – Paving the way for scalable, regional air mobility that benefits urban as well as remote communities.
- SDG 13: Climate Action – Reducing CO2 emissions by up to 98% and lowering transport costs by 85% to make sustainable air travel broadly accessible.
Future Prospects and Continued Innovation
Real-life challenges have given birth to a project that rethinks mobility. THE NEXT TRILLION-EURO SHIFT IN MOBILITY is driven by the need to reduce high costs, heavy carbon footprints, and restricted options. The bold move to combine efficiency with accessibility promises to redefine air travel for the masses. With a design rooted in aerodynamic excellence, the E5 aircraft continuously evolves, incorporating feedback from both customers and investors… paving the way for regional air mobility that’s not only fast and efficient but also environmentally responsible. Future prospects remain bright as the project scales production, works with global partners, and continues to prioritize sustainability, transforming the everyday journey into a greener, faster experience. The clear vision is to make carbon-neutral, on-demand air travel accessible and efficient for a much larger part of society. Every detail, from the full-size cargo door to the compact design, underscores a commitment to practicality, efficiency, and environmental responsibility – ushering in a new era for both private and regional air transport.
