“I had the opportunity to fly the Velis Electro during a leg of the Young Pilots Air Tour. Before the test flight, I had some reservations based on what I had heard about the aircraft. However, as a pilot, I was pleasantly surprised by its performance. Being used to high-wing aircraft, the Velis Electro offered me a completely different flying experience. The sensations were indescribable—you really have to try it to fully understand.
I was surprised to find that, despite my expectations, the interior noise wasn’t significantly lower than that of a conventional aircraft—I initially thought I might not even need a headset. However, on the ground, the absence of noise was striking.
I would have loved to start my PPL training with such an aircraft. At the flying club where I tested it, they had two Velis Electro operating in rotation: one charging while the other was flying.
In short, as a user, I am convinced by this aircraft. It meets today’s expectations for reduced noise and environmental respect. It is an excellent technological first step toward a more decarbonized future for aviation!”
