Our Fleet
Eco. Quiet. Fast. Safe
Eco. Quiet. Fast. Safe
The VELIS Electro, manufactured by Pipistrel in its factory in Slovenia, is the first EASA Type certified light aircraft in the world driven entirely by electric propulsion.
The Pipistrel family of aircraft has the highest safety record, due to a solid carbon fibre fuselage and a Kevlar protected cockpit.
VELIS Electro represents a totally new approach to aviation of the future.
The Pipistrel family of aircraft has the highest safety record, due to a solid carbon fibre fuselage and a Kevlar protected cockpit.
VELIS Electro represents a totally new approach to aviation of the future.
The VELIS Electro has a range of approximately one hour of flight with a 20 minutes reserve. We are building a charging infrastructure across the UK approximately every forty nautical miles so you can land at your chosen airfield, recharge the aircraft's battery to full over an hour, which is an ideal time for a cup of tea and introduction to an airfield, and then you're ready to take off again!
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 / Electro Magnetic 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?
The charger provided with each aircraft is a portable charger ranging from 3 kW to 20 kW charging power. The portable charger weighs about 45 kg. Add This plugs into a wall connecting to a five pin three phase AC supply. The output cable is plugged into the aircraft on the nose cowling into a charge input socket. Charge time will vary upon battery charge status and electrical power availability from the network. The charger is a world-wide charger and a portable unit which can be connected to 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 promote and grow sustainable aviation in the UK through the introduction of the Velis Electro and the development of a charging infrastructure to support the electric flight.
At the development stage, our project will be re-investing all profit into the promotion and development of eco-friendly, zero emission, sustainable flying of electric aircraft in the British skies and beyond.
At the development stage, our project will be re-investing all profit into the promotion and development of eco-friendly, zero emission, sustainable flying of electric aircraft in the British skies and beyond.
On Demand Aviation is rapidly becoming a new reality just as other on-demand consumer services recently emerged – from taxis and food delivery to video and entertainment.
In the UK, aviation is set to be the biggest source of CO2 emissions by 2050; recent surveys by UBS bank found people are beginning to cut air travel over concerns for the environment.
We put out a call to the nation to take a challenge and join the movement! Airfields across the UK are responding rapidly to join our network of charging facilities, allowing the aviation environmental revolution to become a reality!
Our small model to a large network approach also has rural tourism development in mind, yet taking it to a completely new and different level of experience and innovation.
Our First Objective is to create the first of its kind Operating Model for the world's first fully electric air-service born in the UK.
Observed and tested in real-life conditions, our model will give us the opportunity to track and record data, describe the experience, and summarise what is involved into flying electric aircraft in the conventional aviation environment.
Our Operating Model of Air and Ground Procedures for Electric Aircraft, in place and fully documented, will then be presented in a series of comprehensive guides to be published and made available free of charge to the sites across the country looking to establish electric air vehicle operations in the near future, as well as for Government and other bodies involved across the UK.
At the development stage, our project will be re-investing all profit into promotion and development of eco-friendly, zero emission, sustainable flying of electric aircraft in the British skies and beyond.

Captain Steve Boulton RN said 'As the MoD sponsor for this event I have been extremely pleased with all that I have witnessed. Everyone concerned with this project, from Test Pilots to engineering, logistics and airfield operating staff, are acutely aware of the significance of the journey we are on.
The VELIS Electro is undoubtedly a groundbreaking civil aircraft, which signposts the potential for meaningful changes in future light aircraft operations. I know that our test pilots and support staff have enjoyed the process of getting to grips with something hitherto beyond their reach.
For myself, this was the first opportunity to see the aircraft up close and I was struck by its technical simplicity. I am grateful for this opportunity to view the Pipistrel VELIS Electro and am looking forward to watching the zero emissions concept unfold, as part of our burgeoning work on the sustainable aviation technologies.
