Welcome to the Electric Flying Connection

We are thrilled to have you join us on our journey to revolutionize the world of electric flying. The initial idea for EFC was born in Helmond on November 12th, 2021, at a meeting of passionate electric flying enthusiasts at the Automotive Campus.

What can we do for you?


The signs are all there

At Electric Flying Connection (EFC), we envision a future where electric flying is a mainstream transportation option for distances of 200-500 km. Imagine being able to travel not only between major airports, but also between smaller, regional hubs - all while being climate neutral. With over 2000 regional airports in Europe alone, the potential for electric flying to connect these hubs and revolutionize interregional travel is limitless.

And that's just the beginning. As technology advances and renewable energy becomes more readily available, we believe that a significant portion of traditional fossil fuel flights up to 1,000 km can be replaced by electric flying. The signs are all there - from the rapid development of battery technology to the availability of renewable energy, to the dozens of new electric planes and VTOLs in development. EFC is at the forefront of this movement, working to make electric flying a reality for everyone.

Our mission

efc-conference
Our mission is to revolutionize transportation by building a network of organizations dedicated to creating a value chain for electric flying. We understand that there is a lot of work to be done to connect all players involved and build this innovative value chain. From the development of new electric planes or the refurbishment of existing planes with electric planes to the upgrade of regional airports to mobility hubs powered by renewable energy. and the establishment of state-of-the-art infrastructure and standards for charging electric planes with green energy.
We believe that by working together and building on the knowledge and experience of the electric car industry, we can establish electric airlines, flying schools, and electric general aviation. Additionally, we aim to create information networks and systems that interact with current modes of transportation and work closely with continental, central, regional, and local government bodies, safety, and regulatory bodies, and educational and research institutes.At EFC, we understand that to make electric flying a success we need to work in close cooperation with the existing aviation industry. By joining our community, you will be a part of a movement to create a sustainable mode of transportation for the future.We're here to connect with you!
