The VELIS Electro, manufactured by Pipistrel in Slovenia, is the World's first light aircraft with EASA and UK CAA Type certification powered solely by electric propulsion.
The Pipistrel aircraft family boasts an outstanding safety record, attributed to its robust carbon fibre fuselage and cockpit shielded by Kevlar.
The VELIS Electro signifies a revolutionary approach to the aviation of tomorrow.
The Pipistrel aircraft family boasts an outstanding safety record, attributed to its robust carbon fibre fuselage and cockpit shielded by Kevlar.
The VELIS Electro signifies a revolutionary approach to the aviation of tomorrow.
The Pipistrel VELIS Electro is the world's first fully electric aircraft to receive type certification, which is essential for private and commercial flight training. This two-seater aircraft, primarily aimed at pilot training, represents a significant shift in aviation technology and cost-efficiency. Its certifications from EASA and UK CAA herald a new era of environmentally sustainable, emission-free aviation.
The VELIS Electro offers a flight range of about 50 minutes with an additional 20-minute reserve. Currently, there are Pipistrel chargers installed at 14 airfields, marking the start of the Electro Avenue initiative. This will facilitate short cross-country flights and the relocation of aircraft between maintenance facilities. Nevertheless, the Velis Electro is primarily designed as a circuit trainer, making the establishment of a training circuit among similar airfields crucial.
1. What is the Velis Electro Aircraft?
The Pipistrel Velis Electro is the world's first fully electric aeroplane ever to receive type certification. The two-seater, intended primarily for pilot training, is a game-changing aircraft in terms of technological innovations and cost-efficiency. Its EASA certification paves the way for the future of environmentally sustainable, emission-free aviation.
Conceived as a fundamental part of the 'Velis Training System', the Velis Electro is designed to be simple to operate and maintain, without compromising safety.
2. Which Electric Motor is installed in the Velis?
The motor is the Pipistrel's type certified electric engine, the 57.6kW liquid cooled electric engine provides power to the aircraft. This motor is developed and built in Slovenia in co-operation with EMRAX and EMSISO.
The Velis Electro delivers power instantly and without hesitation – a simplified user interface in a cockpit that maintains the same look-and-feel of its conventionally powered siblings. The revolutionary powertrain is entirely liquid-cooled, including the batteries, and demonstrated the ability to withstand faults, battery thermal runaway events, and crash loads as part of the certification process.
3. What is the Maintenance for the Velis?
The reduced number of moving parts in the electric motor dramatically decreases maintenance costs and the risk of malfunctions is further minimized thanks to its built-in continuous health- monitoring system.
The fully composite and monocoque type structure of the aircraft eliminates corrosion and reduces routine maintenance and inspection costs.
4. What about reliability and operating costs?
The paucity of moving parts and lack of vibrations in the airframe increase reliability. This enhanced reliability allows the Velis Electro to have more than double the lifespan of powertrain elements in comparison to the previous generation of electric aeroplanes.
The overall result of all these breakthrough innovations is a drastic reduction in the operating costs, significantly contributing to the affordability of pilot training.
5. How quiet and clean is it?
Featuring noise levels of only 60 dBa, Velis Electro is considerably quieter than other aeroplanes and produces no combustion gases at all. Its revolutionary powertrain is entirely liquid-cooled, including the batteries, and demonstrated the ability to withstand faults, battery thermal runaway events, and crash loads as part of the certification process. Velis Electro can operate in cold, hot and rain.
6. How safe is it?
As part of the EASA Type Certification, Pipistrel demonstrated that Velis Electro achieves the highest levels of safety, even surpassing those required for conventionally powered aircraft. Velis Electro is a full-electric derivative of the proven Virus SW 121, which is already type certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (TC No EASA.A.573).
It is equipped with a Pipistrel type certified electric engine E-811-268MVLC (TC No. EASA.E.234), developed with partners EMRAX and EMSISO, and Pipistrel's three-bladed composite fixed pitch propeller P-812-164-F3A.
The 57.6kW (77 hp) liquid cooled electric engine provides power to the aircraft.
7. Which Batteries are used in the Velis?
The power is delivered by 345 Volts D.C. electric system built around a liquid-cooled, in-house developed, high performance battery system, which includes two Pipistrel PB345V124E-L batteries connected in parallel, installed in a redundant 2-unit arrangement, total nominal capacity 24.8kWh. The battery packs are crashworthy and have thermal runway inhibiting protections. They are also HIRF/EMI tolerant. (High Intensity Radio Frequency / Electromagnetic Interference).
One battery pack is located in the nose of the aeroplane and the second behind the cabin. This ensures redundancy of the power source: in case of battery failure, the malfunctioning battery would get automatically disconnected from the system. A single battery is capable of standalone operation and has enough power capability to support climbing and continuation of flight.
8. How long does it take to charge the batteries?
Each aircraft comes with a portable charger that offers a charging power range from 3 kW to 20 kW. The charger, weighing approximately 70 kg, connects to a wall outlet with a five-pin three-phase AC supply. The output cable attaches to a charging input socket located on the aircraft's nose cowling. Charging duration depends on the battery's current charge level and the electrical network's power availability. The charger is designed for global use, being a portable device compatible with any 110V and 240V, 50 Hz or 60 Hz electrical grid.
9. What is the flight endurance and characteristics of the Velis?
The Velis Electro is designed for circuit training with a flight endurance of 50 minutes with a VFR reserve. If you plan to fly to another airfield, that airfield must have a charger available to recharge after you land.

Our mission
Our mission is to advance the Decarbonisation of Pilot Training and Experience Flights whilst supporting Sustainable Aviation in the UK with the introduction of the Velis Electro to Flying Schools and Clubs. We are dedicated to promoting and developing eco-friendly, zero-emission, sustainable flight with electric aircraft in British skies and beyond.
In the UK, aviation is projected to become the largest source of CO2 emissions by 2050. Recent UBS bank surveys indicate that people are starting to reduce air travel due to environmental concerns.
Each pilot emits between 2.5 and 5.5 tonnes of CO2 into the British skies whilst training for their licence, we can deliver an immediate solution to cut these emissions.
Our approach transitions from a small model to a large network, with the development of the UK's first sustainable Operational Model for Pilot Training.
Tested under real-life conditions, it enables us to deliver training, whilst collecting and analyzing data, document the experience, and detail the processes involved in operating electric aircraft within the conventional aviation framework.
Our comprehensive Operating Model for Air and Ground Procedures for Electric Aircraft, thoroughly documented, will be shared through a series of detailed guides. These will be published and distributed at no cost to locations nationwide aiming to initiate electric air vehicle operations, as well as to the Government and other entities throughout the UK.
