We are growing increasingly excited about the first Air Race E series, scheduled to take place in 2022.

Air Race E is the first ever electric aircraft race. Eight electric planes will race around a tight circuit, only 1.5km/1mi, reaching speeds of 400kmh/250mph.

Air Race E is a seriously high tech racing institution, the first of its kind. It brings together electric aircraft, a dedicated engineering test center, qualified test pilots, and certified race pilots.

Airbus is the Global Official Founding Partner of Air Race E, and Electro.Aero is a proud supporter. Only the leading aviation companies with a shared mission to accelerate the electrification of aviation support Air Race E.

Air Race E will grow into an annual series of races around the world. Each year, one host city will be home to the Air Race E World Cup – the top title in this incredible new sport. Learn more about host cities and race classes at Air Race E.

2022 is beginning to look very exciting for electric aircraft.
