Electra’s innovative EL9 hybrid-electric propulsion system with blown lift technology enables ultra-short takeoffs and landings in soccer field-size spaces previously limited to helicopters and eVTOLs, but at one-third the cost and with the improved safety and reliability of a fixed-wing aircraft.

The average cruising speed of a private jet at a higher altitude is around 500-600 mph — or 434-521 knots — and some can reach speeds of up to 700 mph or, rather, 608 knots. Here are a few reasons why private jets are faster: Reduced payload: Light private aircraft are smaller to accommodate fewer travelers per flight.

As it does, one aircraft is seeking to capture a particular slice of the advanced air mobility market, one that none of its rivals can challenge – that is, the provision of electric flights for seven people flying at up to 250 knots (450kph) and with a stage length of around 500 miles (800km).

More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift. As altitude increases, air molecules spread out, resulting in less power and lift. Our family of four packed less than 50 pounds of luggage.

million knots in aviation terms, or Mach 3,845! Exceeding the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) will risk the aircraft not generating sufficient lift to get off the ground. If every child asked Santa for the Stitch plush this Christmas, the payload carried would be around 2.4 billion kilograms (around 5.3 million pounds).

We routinely taxi at 1200 rpm due to the low spray…[we] can cruise at 10 knots” in displacement mode, something a Goose can’t do. The airfoil is a Harry Riblett shape, giving modernized flow separation on the leading edge for a soft stall yet with good lift and drag performance. But it will go 140 knots at 28 gph total.)
