Scientifically validated through two studies, “A New Perspective on Battery-Electric Aviation I & II,” conducted in partnership with Delft University of Technology, the E9X introduces innovative designs for electric planes accommodating 40-120 passengers. These designs incorporate principles that significantly extend the range beyond previous expectations.

Remarkably, the E9X achieves up to five times greater efficiency per passenger kilometer compared to hydrogen or SAF-powered planes, matching the energy efficiency of an average electric car with 1.2 passengers. This sets the stage for a greener, zero-emission future in the aviation industry.
