ZERO-EMISSION AIR TRAVEL

Reimagining the Potential of
Battery-Electric Flight

Elysian Aircraft has achieved a significant advancement in battery-electric aviation with the unveiling of the E9X.

This aircraft, designed for regional routes, showcases the potential of battery-electric aviation as a scalable and economically viable option compared to traditional aviation, setting the stage for a zero-emission future of the industry. 

Introducing the E9X

Set to take to the skies by 2033, the E9X features a battery pack with an energy density of 360 Wh/kg and is engineered to transport 90 passengers over distances of up to 800 kilometers.

More passengers. More distance.

The capabilities of the E9X are backed by two scientific studies “A New Perspective on Battery-Electric Aviation I & II”, in collaboration with Delft University of Technology:

The first study redefines the possibilities of electric aviation by:

  • Introducing new parametric designs for an electric aircraft suitable for 40-120 passengers

  • Presenting design principles that enable a much higher range than previously thought possible


The second study presents a conceptual design of a battery-electric 90-seater aircraft, which includes:

  • Batteries integrated into the wings

  • A low-wing configuration

  • Folding wingtips

Why Battery-Electric

800 Kilometers Range

Anticipated to cover routes up to this distance based on a battery pack of 360 wh/kg, and up to 1000km with future battery improvements.

50% of Scheduled Flights

A 1000 km range covers half of all scheduled commercial flights, meaning electric aviation has the potential to reduce 20% of all aviation CO2 emissions

Five Times More Efficient

Achieves up to five times higher efficiency per passenger kilometer than hydrogen or SAF-powered aircraft, matching the energy efficiency of an average electric car with 1.2 passengers. 

Our Zero-Emission Vision

Emerging from Panta Holdings, and part of the Fokker heritage, Elysian harnesses extensive industry expertise, resources, and aviation experience to develop the E9X, driven by a commitment to building the future of zero-emission air travel.
