Textron eAviation

Pipistrel hopes to begin deliveries of its Velis Electro electric-powered training airplane in the U.S. next year after changes to FAA regulations.

The U.S. aerospace group has used its Nexus eVTOL design as a technology testbed, but the head of its eAviation team says it has yet to prove the business case for launching the program.

Rob Scholl reports directly to Textron chairman and CEO Scott Donnelly as senior v-p for the division.
