Electric Aviation Takes Off: Swiss-Built Smartflyer SF1 Heading to Australia
FlyOnE is bringing the innovative Smartflyer SF1 electric aircraft to Australia, offering passengers the chance to experience emission-free flights with cutting-edge hybrid technology.
In a significant move toward sustainable aviation, Australian startup FlyOnE has partnered with Swiss aerospace company Smartflyer to introduce the innovative SF1 electric aircraft to the Asia-Pacific region. The partnership includes FlyOnE’s plan to purchase 30 of the cutting-edge SF1 planes, marking a major step in making emission-free flights accessible across Australia and beyond.
The Smartflyer SF1 is a revolutionary four-seater aircraft currently in development, designed for both electric and hybrid flight modes. With a purely electric mode that offers 2.5 hours of flight time and a range-extending hybrid option reaching up to 800 kilometers, the SF1 promises a substantial reduction in emissions and noise. Its modular nose system allows for easy switching between battery power, hybrid propulsion, and even future energy sources like fuel cells.
FlyOnE’s approach to aviation goes beyond simply distributing aircraft. The company also offers flight booking services and pilot training, aiming to make electric aviation as common and accessible as driving a car. The SF1’s entry into Australia is poised to reshape regional aviation, with plans for commercial and private flights operating across the Asia-Pacific region.
