FlyOnE secures deal with Electron Aerospace for Lilypad Elevate electric aircraft network in regional WA - Geoffrey ThomasThe West AustralianTue, 18 January 2022 9:28AM
The order for 28 aircraft includes two trainer versions as well as 26 passenger versions.
West Australians could be flying around the State in all-electric aircraft as early as 2026.
Aviation startup FlyOnE has signed a deal with Dutch manufacturer Electron Aerospace for delivery of 28 five-seater Electron 5 planes.
The aircraft will operate on a network that will connect 25 regional airports in WA and create 30-plus point-to-point connections.
The Electron 5 was selected as the most suitable aircraft to operate FlyOnE’s proposed zero-emissions regional aviation network, under the Lilypad Elevate banner.
To launch the project FlyOnE plans to install, together with third parties, solar-powered charging infrastructure for the aircraft.
Proposed sites include Perth, Rottnest Island, Murray Field Airport, Mundaring Airport, White Gum Air Park and Northam Airport.
Five passengers can board the all-electric plane.
FlyonE The Electron 5 has a range of 750km on a single charge at a top speed of 300km/h.
With its short take-off and landing capabilities, the Electron 5 makes smaller and often underused airfields more accessible.
FlyOnE chief executive Korum Ellis said the Electron 5 best meets the company’s mission profile in terms of range as well as available seats.“Knowing that the Electron 5 achieves the required performance with today’s battery technology gives us the confidence that the aircraft will be delivered on time,” Mr Ellis said. Marc-Henry de Jong, chief operating officer at Electron, said both companies shared the vision of making zero emission, on-demand, regional air mobility a reality.Lilypad’s planned WA network.Lilypad’s planned WA network.
FlyOnE “We believe that this is just the start of a long and prosperous partnership. Over the coming weeks and months, we will explore other potential areas of co-operation, including aircraft distribution, servicing and potentially manufacturing,” Mr de Jong said.
