The key to Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) operations is the ability to fly slow– really slow. That’s how you get up fast without a long takeoff roll to build …read more Continue reading This Plane Flies Slow Because Its Wings Really Blow
While alien-looking eVTOL aircraft are stealing the headlines, Electra’s slightly more conventional approach is beating the likes of Joby, Archer, Lilium and Vertical Aerospace on pre-sales. Indeed, we pointed out in January that this company’s pre-ord… Continue reading Watch: High-tech eSTOL aircraft hardly needs any runway
In all the buzz around eVTOLs, there’s still plenty of appetite for more conventional electric planes – especially, it seems, if they make ludicrous amounts of lift, and can take off and land at incredibly slow speeds, using absolutely tiny runways.Con… Continue reading Ultra-short takeoff and landing plane rakes in $8 billion in pre-orders

Germany’s Fraundorfer Aeronautics has unveiled its Tensor 600X gyroplane at the European Rotors show. It’s a two-seat design mainly targeted at personal use, but the company claims it’ll soon scale up to a certified six-seater for air taxi purposes.Con… Continue reading Tensor 600X STOL gyroplane offers a taste of bigger gyros to come
The US Air Force’s flying car program, Agility Prime, is hedging its bets on advanced air mobility, adding an ultra-short takeoff and landing (ultra-STOL) aircraft from Electra.aero into the mix alongside a number of eVTOL projects.Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading US Air Force partners with Electra on ultra-short takeoff aircraft
