Lilypad Elevate is expanding Australia wide, linking key electric and decarbonised aviation routes for on-demand air transport and electric pilot training in those areas.
The next chapter in short to medium-range air transport is Electric.
FlyOnE is building a more customer centric, more affordable, more ESG friendly aviation network in Australia and beyond to link Metro and regional areas powered by renewable energy sources. In parallel with short Metro routes in capital cities that are already active, the first major regional rollout will be in the North-West of Western Australia, servicing the busy air transport requirements of the Pilbara region.

A charger at every airport
FlyOnE is not just importing the aircraft of tomorrow, not just training the pilots of tomorrow, not just opening up the Air Taxi routes of tomorrow, but also building the aviation charge node network of tomorrow, the Lilypad Elevate network.

A complete Advanced Air Mobility network will need all of the elements mentioned above. To ensure new electric pilots have a growing network of sites to fly to for recharge, FlyOnE is working with local governments and airports to roll out infrastructure and ground services to support the next wave of air transport.
Stage 1, 2023
Up to 12 passenger movements per site per day

Regional airports are ripe for development and reform to accommodate the growing sector of regional air mobility that is being transformed and expanded by the cost reduction and environmental advantages that electric aviation enables. FlyOnE has scalable regional smart hangar designs that collect and store energy to power electric aircraft for a grid-independent air transport solution. ENQUIRE NOW
To enable the looming electric aircraft revolution, a reasonable amount of infrastructure will need to be added and upgraded at various airstrips and airports in both metro and regional areas.
The only certified electric aircraft available today, the Pipistrel Alpha Electro or Pipistrel Velis Electro has a practical range of up to 60 minutes flight time (practical range approx. 100km) with the required reserve.
Just like the early days of electric cars, we will need to establish an early network of charge stations at key locations to enable the transition from internal combustion engine aircraft (ICE Aircraft) to electric aircraft counterparts.
These sites will continue to serve long into the future as airstrips and airports transition into vertiports to support EVTOL aircraft as more and more of these types of aircraft become available.
FlyOnE is facilitating the early installation of multiple aviation charging sites in multiple Australian states to support the use of the Pipistrel Alpha Electro, and Velis Electro ahead of the 2025 release of the Air ONE EVTOL aircraft and other future release aircraft such as the Diamond eDA40, Joby, Vertiia, Electron 5 and more.

Electric aircraft will require more energy to recharge than localised grids are able to deliver, a Lilypad Elevate Grid independent complete charge node solution will support various charging and power needs regardless of grid capabilities.
Our grid-independent renewable power solutions can charge electric aircraft, electric cars, electric plant equipment and even buildings and airports. We have an array of pre-designed solutions (Table below) and can tailor a bespoke package for your power needs.
Cost may vary due to deployment location and market conditions. ENQUIRE NOW
Lilypad Vertiport pontoon
Trying to find premium land in high-density areas for vertiport conversion is almost impossible. However, there are many existing transport hubs on protected waterfronts in high-density areas that are perfect for air passenger transfer. Such as Marinas, ferry terminals, and jetties. A Lilypad Vertiport Pontoon allows an aircraft to land just 150M from buildings and obstacles on the pontoon, which can then taxi to the existing transport hub (jetty, dock, or wharf). The Pontoon is electric, and self-guiding, and also has stored energy on board to instantly begin charging the aircraft upon landing and during water taxiing. ENQUIRE NOW
