No runway. No limits on what's possible.
On October 26, Electra made aviation history in New York City, performing a series of takeoffs and landings in our hybrid-electric Ultra Short aircraft at Manhattan's Downtown Skyport.
It was a demonstration of what Life Beyond Runways will look like: reimagining where aircraft can operate, making regional travel more accessible, and taking us directly to where we live, work, and play.
Now, experience the full demonstration, from takeoff to touchdown, against the Manhattan skyline.

The birthplace of aviation is helping build its next era.
Yesterday, we joined Office of Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and our state and local partners in Springfield to celebrate the future home of Electra's EL9 Ultra Short aircraft production facility.
Thank you to @GovMikeDeWine, @JobsOhio, @daytonregion, and the Springfield and Clark County communities for welcoming us into their community as we usher in the New Era of aviation.
Our planned $850 million investment at AirPark Ohio is expected to create nearly 2,000 jobs, helping bring the next generation of hybrid-electric aircraft manufacturing to the Miami Valley.
From the Wright brothers to the next generation of hybrid-electric flight, Ohio continues to shape what's possible in aviation.

We said where we land next might surprise you. The third era of aviation just landed in Lower Manhattan. ✈️
Electra’s hybrid-electric, fixed-wing Ultra Short aircraft just completed a historic flight demonstration at the Downtown Skyport. No runway required.
This latest chapter in Life Beyond Runways shows what becomes possible when an airplane needs just 150 feet to take off and land.
Regional flights that reach city centers. Journeys that save hours. Military operations that can reach places conventional aircraft cannot.
This is the promise of Direct Aviation - bringing flight closer to the places people need to go.

What if air travel started closer to home?
Not at a traditional airport, but at places already woven into our cities and communities.
That's the promise of Direct Aviation.
And we're about to show you what that future could look like.
Stay tuned.

Today, we joined our partners @Bristow_Group, @Avinor, and the Civil Aviation Authority Norway in announcing five new locations for our series of flight demonstrations in Norway.
Starting in 2027, these demonstrations will lay the groundwork for a Direct Aviation ecosystem, bringing together regulations, policy, infrastructure, and aircraft operations to make more direct travel a practical option for more people.

For more than a century, runways have defined where airplanes can go. What happens when an airplane needs just 150 feet to take off and land?
Life Beyond Runways is our series of real-world demonstrations showing how Ultra Short aircraft can bring air travel closer to the places people want to go.
Imagine a business trip that gets you home for dinner. A weekend with family that starts sooner and lasts longer. Or a daily commute that skips the traffic.
Less time traveling. More time for the people and possibilities that made you want to go in the first place.

This is Charles Schwab CEO Rick Wurster.
He says Charles Schwab will offer prediction markets for financial trades, not sports, because "we don't want to be in the gambling business."
Investing is investing. Gambling is gambling.
In other words, I will offer unlawful gaming or evade the laws of the United States.
🚨 @Kalshi CEO @mansourtarek_ on what's really at stake in the prediction markets legal battle:
“It's not a choice of state versus federal market. It's a choice of whether prediction markets exist in the U.S. or whether they go offshore.” coindesk.com/policy/2026/10/…

Americans are seeing through prediction markets.
A staggering 75 percent of those polled by Reuters and Ipsos recently say prediction markets offer sports betting. Only 8 percent said otherwise.
Wise words from @debbiecoxbultan. People want their leaders to get shit done on their behalf to address the cost of living. It's about how expensive life has become.

The states are seeing what tribal gaming leaders see: Prediction markets are using a loophole to infiltrate sports betting.
Thirty-nine states are backing New Jersey as the NFL urges the Supreme Court to clarify who regulates sports prediction markets. newsweek.com/map-40-states-b…
That's because Prediction Markets are violating federal law, as two circuit courts have found and the Supreme Court will likely take up.
Actually what the 9th circuit said is that it ain't like gambling; it is gambling (Class III gaming)...

More than 140 Tribal Nations and organizations are urging the Supreme Court to act: Sports event contracts are sports bets.
