HAWTHORNE, Calif. - illiNews -- Surf Air Mobility, Inc. (N Y S E: SRFM), a leading regional air mobility platform and one of the largest commuter airlines in the U.S. by scheduled departures, continues to redefine short-haul aviation with groundbreaking milestones that position it at the forefront of electrified and AI-powered air travel.

Successful Commercial Demonstrations with Electra Aero at Virginia Tech

In partnership with Electra.aero, Inc. and Virginia Tech, Surf Air Mobility has completed the first series of public demonstrations showcasing Electra's Ultra Short aircraft capabilities. These flights demonstrated how blown lift technology and hybrid-electric propulsion enable takeoffs and landings in 150 feet or less, a revolutionary advancement for regional and urban air mobility.

Captured in a forthcoming video series, these demonstrations highlight how such aircraft can operate from ultra-short access points—transforming underutilized areas such as small airstrips, campuses, or austere environments into efficient mobility hubs.

This achievement accelerates Electra's vision to bring its EL-9 Ultra Short aircraft to commercial service by 2029, and Surf Air Mobility is expected to play a pivotal role in bringing this technology to market at scale through its SurfOS™ AI-powered platform and established nationwide commuter network.
