Hybrid-Electric Flights Connecting Small Airports to Major Airports

The FAA is shaping the future of air travel by supporting innovative eVTOL integration pilot programs (eIPP) across the nation. One key component of eIPP is safely integrating electric aircraft with short takeoff and landing capabilities for regional aviation that creates local jobs and strengthens community connections.

Watch the Electra EL9 hybrid-electric plane in action. Electra's flight tests are the start of a regional aviation revolution—unlocking a cleaner, faster way to travel. These flights are part of a series of demonstrations as the U.S. Department of Transportation works to safely integrate Advanced Air Mobility aircraft into the National Airspace System.
