AFWERX Prime partner, Electra, has completed off-runway test flights of its EL-2 Goldfinch prototype hybrid-electric short takeoff and landing (eSTOL) aircraft, successfully taking off and landing in distances of less than 150ft. Flight-tested from a grass field near Electra’s facility in Manassas, Virginia, the aircraft flew a series of take-offs and landings from a grass area and demonstrated the maximum performance climb-out of 32 degrees that would be used in many military missions. “The Electra eSTOL grass field flight demonstrates the beginnings of what could be relevant contested logistics capability. Very short unimproved surface takeoff & landing capability will be key to addressing Agile Combat Employment (ACE) in austere environments,” said Jacob Wilson, Acting Agility Prime Branch Chief.

Since mid-June, experts from AFWERX, the United States Department of the Air Force's innovation arm within the Air Force Research Laboratory, have been working with Beavercreek, Ohio-based defense contractor Modern Technology Solutions Inc., or MTSI, to evaluate Pivotal’s BlackFly electric vertical take-off and landing, or eVTOL, aircraft, along with other electric aircraft. This effort is part of the AFWERX Agility Prime program, which focuses on assessing the aircraft and their supporting ecosystem through an operational leasing initiative. These sleek, single seat eVTOL aircraft, normally piloted by a person, are being tested in an unmanned configuration to better assess their capabilities and potential military applications. "We're exploring a range of military-type use cases, from logistics and material transport to emergency response and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions,” said Jacob Wilson, AFWERX Agility Prime acting branch chief. “Our goal is to accelerate the commercial adoption of these innovations, particularly in the U.S., to ensure a strong industrial base of these technologies and transition the most suitable among them to the warfighter."
