The Ventus E Performance has completed its first flight – powerful, efficient, and impressively quiet🎉

In golden autumn weather on November 18th, our first Ventus E with the Performance fuselage took to the skies for its maiden flight and impressed right from the start: a short takeoff run, strong climb, and that gentle electric hum🔋

The high battery capacity not only made all test flights possible, but also allowed for extended demonstration flying over Teck Castle – much to the delight of the spectators, who watched in fascination despite the chilly temperatures🍂

Now, the certification test flights begin so that series production can start as planned in early 2026. We are convinced: the Ventus E Performance will offer a completely new sense of freedom thanks to its high performance reserves, intuitive handling, and almost silent take-offs🩵

A propulsion system that brings true flexibility – from early morning to late evening, quietly, cleanly, and independently ✨
