The aircraft
The Velis Electro designed by Pipistrel is a two-seater electrically propelled aircraft. It is the first, and to date the only, EASA-certified electric aircraft. Its silent nature, maneuverability and ease of use make it particularly popular with pilots.
The manufacturer

Originally a microlight specialist, Pipistrel set its sights on sustainable aviation in 2014, working on a 100% electric microlight, the Alpha Electro, before certifying the Velis Electro in 2020. A pioneer in electric aviation, the Slovenian manufacturer was acquired by Textron in 2022.
