Our goal is to accelerate the commercialisation of electric flight

The growth of electric flight is dependent on the technology roadmap and the cost of cells to enable widespread market adoption.  At Electroflight, our capabilities span every aspect of electric aviation’s battery requirements considering power & energy density, thermal management, airworthiness, certification and second lifing.

We deliver lightweight, certified powertrain solutions that meet a broad range of mission profile requirements; our system level optimisation allows flexibility across electric and hybrid eVTOL, fixed wing and helicopter applications.

Our battery systems can be coupled with the ultra-light-weight, high torque density electric motors and motor control units from our parent company Evolito Ltd, to provide fully optimised powertrain solutions enabling new vehicle architectures for the future.

 

“Until today, energy storage solutions available to airframers and electric aviation companies have been in the main single point solutions, largely designed for non-aviation applications. Which is why, despite strong consumer demand, global emissions goals and powerful new electric motor technology, commercial electric aviation has yet to emerge.

To scale electric flight to volume, the industry requires an end-to-end approach to battery solutions. That’s what Electroflight is here to deliver.”

Chris Harris, CEO of Electroflight and CEO & Cofounder of Evolito

 

The nature of commercial flight – with multiple flights per day – means conventional charging infrastructures used for electric vehicles cannot be applied. Commercial electric flight will require radically new charging infrastructure enabled by new battery system design.

Our custom & integrated approach to battery design enables the new charging infrastructure that commercial electric flight requires.
