Electra Showcases Hybrid Electric Aircraft

Issue: 11-2024

Electra has completed another military flight demonstration of its hybrid-electric prototype aircraft. The demonstration flights were part of the Thunderstorm 24-4 “Expeditionary Operations” technology showcase sponsored by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defence for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)) in early November. An invitation-only field technology showcase, Thunderstorm 24-4 highlighted Electra’s unique dual-use technologies that support distributed operations of military forces in contested areas.

During the three-day event, Electra’s EL2 prototype aircraft conducted live overflights, offering hundreds of DoD attendees from all branches and venture capital investors a firsthand experience of its low acoustic signature. The EL2 demonstration showcased the aircraft’s ultra-quiet all-electric mode compared with a conventional aircraft.
