First open air first test flights

19/11/2018

Press releaseIssued by Electric Aircraft Concept.

We are glad to announce that the first open air test flights of the WHISPER were successfully done!

The technical prototype is helping our team of engineers tuning the final technical solutions (frame, electronics, and battery performance).

These final specifications will be fully integrated in the future production model that will be on show for the next AERO Friedrichshafen trade show in Germany in April 2019.

The new WHISPER integrates more cockpit space for its 2 passengers. Its total height from the ground to blades is now 240cms/94inches.

We will update you on a regular basis with pictures and all relevant information on the ongoing project.
