Our ‘Spirit of Innovation’ aircraft has flown faster than any other all-electric aircraft in history. Reaching a top speed of 555.9 km/h (345.4 mph) over 3 kilometres, smashing the existing record by 213.04 km/h (132mph). A huge thanks to our partners Electro flight, YASA: e-motors for hybrid and electric vehicles, Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI).
