Today, the Velis Electro is the first ever type-certified electric powered aircraft, fully approved for pilot training in Day VFR operations in more than 30 countries worldwide. Ease of operation with an intuitive powertrain and impressive ergonomics come as standard. Velis Electro is optimized for pilot training as part of the Velis family of aircraft with demonstrated levels of safety built on over 15 years of Pipistrel expertise in electric flight.

The Velis Electro produces zero emissions during operation and with noise levels of only 60 dBa is ultra-quiet both on the inside and outside. A revolution in sustainable flight, a game changer for ease of operation is not easy. You no longer have to dream about the future of sustainable flight, it is here and the Velis Electro has set the standard for electric flight.

Power on the Velis Electro comes from Pipistrel's own type-certified electric engine, the E-811, producing 57.6 KW from a 345 VDC electric system and in-house developed dual battery system. This revolutionary powertrain is entirely liquid cooled, can be charged through the on board charging port with an external charger and has demonstrated levels of safety equivalent or higher than conventionally powered aircraft. The Velis Electro was designed to be simple to operate and maintain without compromising safety.
