Pipistrel Velis Electro – Futuristic yet Practical ELECTRIC aircraft
Pipistrel Velis Electro is the electric pilot training aircraft. This is the lightweight plane that has only electric propulsion system and no internal combustion engine onboard. It can fly for about 50 minutes and can provide the range of about 100 miles on one charge.
This is a revolutionary technology that sets the start for the electric aviation and probably shows the example to other aircraft engineering companies. The 20-kilowatt-hour battery pack and the tiny 58-kilowatt electric motor ensure the magic of electric flying is possible.
In the video, I’m going to tell you about the Pipistrel Velis Electro model, its specs, and also its MSRP. I will talk about technical and marketing aspects and will also show you what this plane looks outside and inside.

Tec1.Highspeed Cable Assembler wires .😊
Nimbus refunded my deposit in 2024. and said they were not able to move into production. Currently they have paused moving forward. I hope the partner with Gogoro and get into production.
This is neither futuristic or practical. Just because you just learned about batteries doesnt mean humans havent tried this before. Batteries are too heavy for a practical application for flight. Also, this thing is gonna be wildly expensive if given FAA TC. Electric planes dont have a practical place in aviation, period.
I heard the Nimbus is dead. Too bad, I wanted one.
UPDATE ON JOBY Nov 6th 2024, Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) is 41% through Stage 4 FAA cert testing, expecting FAA certification in 2025. Cash position: $710m plus the following to be added: PLUS Early October 2024, Toyota made an agreement to invest a further $500m into Joby in 2025. PLUS Late October 2024, Joby raised $230m. (less costs, call it $220m) PLUS Delta Airlines will further invest up to $140m as milestones reached. PLUS Saudi Arabia MOU for an undisclosed number of S4's - fast tracking income while air taxi builds out PLUS $130m DoD contract. PLUS Marina factory producing 12 eVTOLs per year expanding to 25 per year. PLUS Dayton factory (my estimate of production ramping up) 2026: 150 eVTOLs 2027: 400 eVTOLs 2027: 500 eVTOLs. So Joby has a huge cash runway (over $1.7 billion) plus up to $325 million in incentives and benefits. Within 2028 they will have more than 1000 eVTOLs producing cash. Note: The state of Ohio and several political organizations have offered up to $325 million in incentives and benefits to develop the new Dayton factory, expected to be ready 2025. Incentives include grants, tax credits, and infrastructure support, as well as workforce development assistance aimed at helping Joby hire and train approximately 2,000 employees for the factory. My estimates for production: Cumulative values 2024 Marina 6 Dayton 0 2025 Marina 18 Dayton 0 (Dayton will be ready at this point) 2026 Marina 32 Dayton 150 2027 Marina 48 Dayton 550 2028 Marina 66 Dayton 1050 I have allowed ramp up for both Marina and Dayton. Total in 2028: 1116 eVTOLS. "..A Joby Aviation S4 2.0 aircraft is projected to generate $2.2 million in annual revenue.." So from 2028 that is $2.45 billion earnings. The average tech sector P/E ratio is 33, implying a market cap of $81 billion by then, or a share price of $106. The share price is currently $6. Joby's vertical integration is its superpower. Joby MTOW is 5300 lbs, components being refined in-house to minimize weight. Joby is faster at 200 mph. Joby has longer flight duration which makes it more versatile. Joby S4's first piloted flight September 2023. Archer have not yet piloted a flight. I suspect Archer could be a year behind with FAA cert. Joby 41% through fourth stage (FAA testing) in Nov 6th 2024 report. Note in 2023 they obtained a clear path to certification of their pouch battery. Tail approval is highly significant - materials and structure. Joby S4's hover noise is 67dBA, super quiet for operating in cities. Joby has a former FAA administrator on the board. Joby is producing pre-production prototypes as promised (4th being finalised). Joby ditched gear boxes years ago. Joby's direct drive is simpler, lighter, lower maintenance, it's motors weighing total is 168Kg but with each having 236kW power - this is industry leading patented technology. Joby has 10,000+ hours of flight data so far. For safe flight, whereas a helicopter rotor fail is game over (single point of failure), the Joby S4 has multiple layers of redundancy: Each motor being dual wired, dual inverters, mutiple battery sources. The S4 can fly with 4 of its 6 rotors. It is faster, quieter and safer than a helicopter. Joby will be first mover, its vertically integrated production cheaper, more reliable and more agile. It's aircraft weight, speed, duration and noise superior. In the words of the current FAA administrator, Mike Whitaker (who has an eVTOL background), "..There is still some testing to be done but you could see these [eVTOLs] as early as next year .." hTtps://ua-cam.com/video/ECdptmFHF1o/v-deo.html Just my thoughts. No investment advice given.
Hiw loud will it be in the cabin
No one knows yet
The electric pipistrel is not a bad choice for training organisations. But it was not the first type certified purely electric driven plane. That was the german Lange Aviation Antares 20E, from the early 2000s. Lange Aviation boasts over 165.000 hours of flight on its purely electric planes, on 5 continents and 20 countries. One caveat though, those planes are self launching high performance motor gilders and cater to a different segment of the market.
The weather it's a problem for this "drones"
What type of weather?
Цена?
Priced 500x more than it's worth, this will surely fail after the initial hype. It can't move on ground, bad weather stops flight and when it does fly it goes for only a few minutes. Let's not even start on the included avionics... Or lack there of.
Silents Yachts are very pleased you have reviewed our range of yachts, however, there are several factual errors contained within your video. For example, The kW requirement at 7.5 knots on the Silent 80 is about 60 kW total and with nearly 700 kWh of battery capacity on the 2025 model, this gives a range of circa 85 miles using batteries only. We would like to extend you an invitation to visit our shipyard in Italy as our guest and fully understand the technical aspects of our yachts and be able to report correctly. Please contact us via the website. Thank you. Silent Yachts Team
Thanks! I added this to video description and pinned the comment. You probably need to pay more attention to range on the website because this is the main concern when it comes to anything electric these days.
From other yachting channels I've seen, the expectation is that these will be highly self sustaining when in a harbor or chilling at the dock. Ocean crossings are fully expected to take several weeks, traveling quite slowly. Some owners may wish to experience this, but some may hire a crew to do the crossing and just meet up with their yacht at the destination via plane.
That is correct but also very capable of doing 2-3 hours silent cruising every day and sitting on anchor whilst relying on solar and batteries.
Not even going to watch this since the company is going bankrupt. Do better research before you post rubbish.
Hey! They are delivering 8 yachts from Fano yard in Italy this year. 8 yachts are planned for 2025. In late 2023 they changed ownership and aren't going out of business.
@3:20 Did I hear that correctly? So one full charge (battery only at night) I can only get 10 miles (8 nautical miles) on a full battery pack - WITH the range extender? That can't be right? They advertise 100-120 nautical miles on a full charge at crusing speed (6-8 knots). Any chance you dropped a Zero?
There are 2 150 kw engines. If you cruise at 8-10 knots, they use 80-85% of power. So, with 300 kwh battery pack, this will lead to 1 h 20 min cruising aproximately. The range will be much better if you cruise at 2-3 knots at a sunny day cause batteries are charged. But I cannot see it cruisin 100 miles one a single charge under any conditions.
Who in their right mind would waste money on this?
😂
Me😂
@@G2Merica You obviously did not comprehend what I said.
@@Mordalo You obviously your mom.
@@Panda_Gibs Want to try that in comprehensable language?!
Unified flight control system. There is no once reaching altitude the wing takes over. You set whatever altitude you want and set the speed and the computers do the rest. You could set altitude at 50 ft and then push the throttle forward and fly at 200 mph at 50 ft. Of course this won’t happen during commercial operation, but aircraft has the capability to do this.
Also, the S4 has a variable output mode. The engines power up to 150% if there is loss to one propeller. If one rotor is damage, the paired motor is shut down, and then the remaining rotors can power up to 150% to account for the loss.
American here. It's a cool idea, but I'm not sure I could really use one where I live. It would get me around town just fine, but my area is pretty small and doesn't have a lot of common amenities like, say, a Target. In order to get to the nearest Target, I'd have to drive on a highway with top speeds that are higher than the base version of this thing can manage. I'd also be kind of worried about the battery life. There are a lot of EV charging stations in my state, so I think I'd be able to make it to one on my hypothetical trip to Target, but I'm unsure how the math works out for my return trip. Would my shopping time be sufficient charging time to get me back home or would I have to find a way to kill a few hours? If it can't get me into the city and back in a reasonable time frame, I'm afraid it's just not viable for me.
Ehang ?
They look so cute
love to develop a dealership here for them in San Antonio I've got the perfect location for it... That already has a landing strip and plane hangar...
In every single video about this, I love the muted elevator music-like sound this vehicle emits during operation:)
What is the of the company?
Bricks. No unpowered glide ratio.
The most promising eVTOL company is EVE, because is not focusing only in the aircraft itself, but building from scratch an entire Air Mobility Ecosystem alongside with their partners. Also they're leading a backlog of 2900 units so far. Furthermore, is backed by Embraer, a worldwide successful aircraft company.
Neat technology but the hurdles put up by governments are so large I wonder if it can ever be worth it. And this kind of story is illustrative of why we will never see streams of vehicles ala The Jetsons or Star Wars. An operator would need a pilots license and all that that entails. Perhaps if it were all completely automated but there we run into the problem of people willing to be in a vehicle with no human operator.
Autonomous evtols probably won't be certified for 10-15 years or more. They need to be used as piloted vehicles first and prove their safety. Long way to go. But still, they are revolutionary.
@@technicalevo This! First introduction of aviation were not flown by a crew until later in the years were later flown by a crew (pilots). It's called, progression and a breakthrough of aviation science.
Canoo is a purpose-built vehicle for fleet sales. It has a lot of potential for strong growth and the range is larger than other purpose-built fleet EV in that space. One thing people overlook with the Canoo is that it has beneficial fleet software backed into the design, which will help manage the fleet and lower operation costs. It is a commercial product that could be sold to consumers down the oad. Personally, I would love to have the Bulldog pickup version in my garage because of the high versatility that they have designed into this (footprint of a Prius with the bed space of the F150), but that is a few years off. The one thing that I am concerned with is the range, but that range is spec'd for their commercial market, not for a consumer like me. 217 miles of range is plenty for most fleets they are targeting.
In wheel engines have been "the next smart thing" for 25 years. What about the unsprung mass?
They had to engineer almost everything on their own to reduce that weight. Actually, no data on the precise weight and it doesn't matter much because the model is not commercial and isn't going to be.
@@technicalevo ...and it will still be too heavy for reliable application over a 250000 km service life.
The Sultanate made this vehicle a place where the battery should be placed.
I cannot wait until this company runs into an obvious wall. They are answering a question nobody asked. And nobody will permit. The noise alone will be intolerable. People are rejecting buzzing delivery drones, do you think they’ll put up with downwashing people delivery drones?
Totally understand your concerns. But we still need some solutions for city commuting.
@@technicalevo We have solutions for city commuting. Public transportation. Buses, Trams, Subways, Trains. Building ways for the wealthy to get around so they don’t have to be around regular people is nonsense. It’s inefficient and poor urban planning. Flying transit, even if we could handle the noise, could manage perhaps .0005% of the population. Subways and efficient buses can handle 100s of thousands. Investing in good public transportation is more efficient, less costly, and more beneficial to everyone. Flying taxis are just more dehumanizing traffic for very few people. This is just Elon Musk’s Boring company, but in the sky. And you can look to the Las Vegas Loop for how diabolically inane that traffic solution was. At least the Las Vegas Loop’s Teslas don’t fall on people, keep people awake, or crash into buildings.
There are lot of other people like me making amazing flying machines that will be much more affordable just spending a lot of money is not the only thing in aerospace
Right, but there aren't many people or companies who'll be able to get those machines through FAA or other certification unless they invest millions and billions in their projects. Share your project BTW.
Depends what you mean by success; the cited aircraft expended billions of dollars but either never entered service or failed to be viable. You probably would not understand the reasons for expecting unviability ( and likely uncertifiability when the recent clauses requiring glide ability , under control, following total electrical failure, let alone runaway control or sy 0:00 chronization which has killed earlier vtols. Only a fool would not appreciate that having more money than an otherwise equal competitor gives an advantage - two well fed turkeys may not fly better than one sparrow though "otherwise equal" is the clue.
They’re definitely working on autonomy, not probably, hence the acquisition Xwing.
Didnt the US airforce VTOL crash with fatalities? if the military industrial complex cannot handle it, no one can?
You can expect new technology to cause such issues when testing. I believe, they should stop the race of who's gonna be the first to carry real passengers. Otherwise, we'll see fatalities among civilians.
You are talking about a jet engine VTOLs, which has less success with mechanical and electric components due to its complexities, including helicopters. All electric VTOLs have a higher success with electric power, finding errors with autonomous data links and emergency functionality and this is seen with smaller scale UAS (Drones). Joby tested hundreds of safety checks before it was in phase 2 of the process.
I am talking about their propeller swivel Helitransport thingies, the albatross? heh
its not a drone if you fly it from the inside dumbass
Amount of hot money obtained is not a guarantee of technical or economic success . Do you mean 'too big to fail"? check out the Airbus A 380, or Bristol Brabazon, or SARO Princess flying boats the Convair 990 etc etc if so. Joe Ben Bievert is a disciple of Paul Moller who practically invented VTOL hype and spent, by his reckoning, around $200 million for zero return......
Yes, but the project getting investment is more likley to succeed and achieve its goals. There are tons of hyped evtols that have absolutely nothing behind the cool website and cgi footage. That's the difference with Joby and several other companies. Other than that, money doesn't mean anything here, that's true.
Stopped the video after 6 seconds. Sorry ,I want a real person not Ai voice .
Rating evtol companies on how much they have spent is perverse , imagine the fare you need to charge to recoup even ,'just' the $2billion spent so far normal taxis are just standard passenger cars costing a few thousand dollars not the $3 million plus quoted for Joby or the $11 million for Lilium. ATOL solves the economic problem for air mobility...
Yes, but the market cap or amout of investment show one important thing: is it going to be a real vehicle in the end? Or is it just a scam to get some money with IPO and disappear? Other than that, counting the money makes no sense, of course.
They should be rated on load and distance. They all get an F

It failed to address emergency safety like eVTOL malfunction in midair.
BRS aerospace ballistic recovery parachute system with a slider takes care of emergencies in the air.
They mentioned an ballistic recovery parachute with a slider or the BRS Aerospace to take care of in-flight in the air emergencies.
Did you miss where Canoo raised $200 million just last month to start staffing their production facility? 150 people to be hired immediately. They didn’t give a number but eluded to more hires near the end of the year.
I hope they will start selling in 2025. Otherwise, their stock market pattern is pretty sad. When the video was being made, there was no info about new investments and launch of production. But I hope they will survive because the concept is pretty nice.
The FAA requires 30 min of extra fuel (battery in this case) when you land your aircraft in the day and 45min at night. So with this only having 40min of flight time you can't fly at night and can only legally fly it for 10 minutes at a time in the day........good luck getting buyers/investor's.
Yes, this surely holds them back, all EVTOL brands. But I see certification adjustment in other countries like China or UAE for air-taxi EVTOLS. Probably, FAA will need to come up with some special EVTOL license.
lovely! The cost of liability insurance will be enormous. DMV and FAA will impose several restrictions. Recovery of a “dead battery” copter will cost thousands. Even so, I would like to own one.
200 mile range , , , makes for a small market for the vehicle to be used , ,
