The EVTOL

The electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle saving lives on travel at a time.

Meet our eVTOL, an Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft engineered for multi-mission operations. With our primary focus on medical air transportation, it features a spacious cabin and clamshell rear doors, making it easy to load a stretcher and provide care during flight.

\\ In a nutshell

Our evtol in
4 keypoints

01
Vertical take-off
Learn more
+

Our aircraft takes off and lands vertically like a helicopter but cruises efficiently like an airplane, eliminating the need for runways. It is designed to land on an existing helicopter pad, offering more flexibility for operations.

02
Cost-efficient electric propulsion
Learn more
+

Our eVTOL is powered electrically, lowering the operational cost of the aircraft significantly because we save on maintenance and energy costs.

03
Designed for multi-mission operations
Learn more
+

Our aircraft targets medical patient transport as the first mission profile. This includes the secondary transport of patients between hospitals in the beginning, but also enabling selected primary missions and further non-medical use cases soon.

04
Rear backloading
Learn more
+

Our electric VTOL is the only eVTOL in the world that enables rear backloading which is essential for operators that want to load patients on a stretcher.

OUR EVTOL IS THE SOLUTION TO THE TIME AND COST DILEMMA IN AIR TRANSPORTATION: FAST AND EFFICIENT

Our design integrates both medical and technological expertise, ensuring our aircraft meets the highest standards for patient transport. We combine the latest insights in medical care and patient transport with the knowledge of experienced aerospace engineers, who have successfully developed manned electric aircraft. This collaborative approach guarantees that our eVTOL is initially optimized for safe, effective patient transportation, while paving the way for a wide range of tailored use cases in the future.

Fast-Loading
Yes
Power
Self-chargers

ERC technology ensures fast response and easy integration, making it ideal for medical missions.

Efficiency and Flexibility.

The ERC eVTOL is designed to exceed the highest safety standards, ensuring top-level reliability in every operation.

Certification
EASA SC-VTOL
Failure Rate
1 in a billion
Propulsion
Redundant system

The eVTOL is safer than a twin-engine helicopter and certified according to EASA SC-VTOL "enhanced" standards. It has a highly redundant propulsion system, including backup batteries, to ensure uninterrupted operation. The wing height of 2.2 m and propeller placement above the aircraft allows for safe ground operations, enabling safe movement around the aircraft. Highly automated flight control simplifies operation, ensuring safety at all times.

Full-scale
Full-mass
Demonstrators

Our philosophy of developing full-scale and full-mass demonstrators brings our development process very close to the end product, which makes subsequent certification much less risky. 

The development of eVTOLs is strongly process-driven due to EASA’s requirements. We are working to meet these strict requirements and document meticulously our developments through extensive testing at all levels. 

\\ Coming soon

First flights expected in 2026.

Unlike other OEMs who started with smaller prototypes, ERC prioritizes realistic weights and sizes from the outset. This strategy reduces development risks and speeds up the go-to-market timeline, facilitating optimal advancements in propulsion, battery technology, and flight control. For this reason, we anticipate our eVTOL to enter serial production in 2029.
