Innovation Memo: With Founder and CEO of Electra, John Langford

Electra is an aerospace company that leverages innovative ultra-short takeoff and landing (eSTOL) technology and hybrid-electric propulsion systems to revolutionise regional air mobility. This innovative technology seamlessly blends the operational versatility of helicopters with the safety and efficiency of fixed-wing aircraft, catering specifically to distances within the 50-500 mile range to address the evolving needs of the aviation industry. Led by founder, John Langford and CFO Diana Siegal, their aim is to find a much more energy-efficient and cost-effective solution than vertical lift aircraft, to truly achieve sustainable air travel. Electra’s use of AI-powered carbon accounting dashboards ensures accurate measurement and reduction of carbon emissions, contributing to environmental sustainability.
