Flux Aviation

Nearly 45% of all passenger flights globally are shorter than 500 miles, accounting for nearly 20% of all aviation CO2 emissions.

At Flux Aviation we are developing key technologies needed to decarbonize these journeys and enable electric flight to go mainstream. We are building zero emission future of aviation where any aircraft from small 2-seat trainer aircraft and up to 50-seat regional airliners will fly electric.
