Eviation Aircraft, a global manufacturer of all-electric air mobility solutions, has selected Prescott, Arizona for its US headquarters. The site, located adjacent to the Prescott Municipal Airport, will serve as Eviation’s base of operations for its expansion from Israel into the US market.
With the goal of making clean regional air travel accessible for all, Eviation is tackling aviation. Its zero-emission, 100% electric solution, the Alice Aircraft, which will be test flown at the 53rd Paris Air Show in June 2019, leverages an IP portfolio that includes thermal management and autonomous landing, as well as distributed electric propulsion, industry-leading battery technology, and cutting-edge composite body frames capable of carrying up to nine passengers on a single charge for 650 miles. Eviation will certify and commercialize the Alice aircraft, while partnering with leading industry suppliers to bring its prototypes to scale and to the global market.
“As we develop our regional electric aircraft, the U.S. represents a high-growth, near-term target market for us, given its many regional transit corridors and abundance of approved airstrips,” said Omer Bar-Yohay, CEO of Eviation. “We’d like to express our thanks to the city of Prescott for its support in our goal to bring clean, efficient, and affordable transit solutions to the U.S. and the world.”
