1

50% of Scheduled Flights

A 1000 km range covers half of all scheduled commercial flights, meaning electric aviation has the potential to reduce 20% of all aviation CO2 emissions.

2

800 Kilometers Range

Anticipated to cover routes up to this distance based on a battery pack of 360 wh/kg, and up to 1000km with future battery improvements.

3

Five Times More Efficient

Achieves up to five times higher efficiency per passenger kilometer than hydrogen or SAF-powered aircraft, matching the energy efficiency of an average electric car with 1.2 passengers. 

Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions

Nimbus will start full-scale prototype test flights by 2029
Type-certification will be in early 2032

N1000 can accommodate 6 passengers and 2 pilots. However, N1000 is fully certified for single pilot operation.

N1000 can fly up to 1,100 miles.

Traditional aircraft are extremely loud. In fact, they can reach 140 decibels during takeoff. N1000 is significantly quieter which will benefit passengers and reduce noise pollution to communities during take off and landing.
