The Green Flight Academy is a product of the ELIS program's efforts to advance electrified aviation. BBC Travel decided to pay a visit to the world’s first pilot program designed from a sustainability perspective. The program has a reach of approximately 70 million viewers each week.
An innovative project has started at Skellefteå Droneport with the goal of carrying out pre- commercial tests for drone shipping. The project includes a system demonstrator that integrates community dialogue, technology and business.
At the beginning of 2023, the feasibility study started to establish an Open Area Test Site (OATS) at Skellefteå Airport. The purpose of the project has been to investigate the possibility of establishing a test environment at an airport where technical tests on electromagnetic compatibility for electric aircraft, eVTOLs, drones, electrified powertrains and charging infrastructure can be carried out.
Don't miss Skellefteå Kraft's innovative "Watt an Idea" program, where areas like Electric Aviation and Urban Air Mobility are two domains with groundbreaking potential to reshape the way we travel.
I slutrapporten ”Planering för framtidssäkrad infrastruktur vid mobilitethubbar i kallt klimat” samlas kunskaper och processer om hur detta kan genomföras.
Several actors within society gathered to discuss how the upcoming drone airport in Skellefteå can create value for companies, municipalities and residents.
Together with Skellefteå Kraft, ZeroAvia, and the airline BRA, Skellefteå Airport is making a joint effort towards hydrogen-powered flight in Sweden. This investment is part of the ELIS development program, which aims to accelerate the electrification of aviation.
ELIS invites to a seminar where we present the outcome of two innovative projects aimed to accelerate the introduction of electric vertical take off and landing aircraft (eVTOLs) and drones in the transport system.
Skellefteå aims to become a leading hub in the commercialization of electric aircraft in Sweden, and an important player in the international arena for the development of technology linked to the electrification of aircraft.
