Electra is on track to complete the preliminary design phase of its eSTOL aircraft technology demonstrator this month with most of the vendors and suppliers having been selected, including Blue Force Technologies, which will be the lead designer and manufacturer for the airframe.

Program manager James "JP" Stewart noted that Raleigh, North Carolina-based Blue Force has a well-deserved reputation for production and prototyping programs. “We are excited to be working with this high-energy team to get the technology demonstrator safely and quickly in the air and start collecting flight test data,” Steward added.
