At @ElectraAero, we’re opening the era of Direct Aviation.
Our recent public demonstrations with @SurfAir Mobility at @Virginia_Tech showed what’s possible with breathtakingly short takeoffs and landings in 150 ft or less. Take a look:https://t.co/NU6ECdladf

What if your next regional flight could lift off from a local parking lot or grassy area the size of a soccer field then land closer to your destination than ever before? ✈️

That forward-looking vision was recently on display in Blacksburg. ⬇️
