Silent Air Taxi



The Silent Air Taxi (SAT) is a modern aircraft for up to four passengers with a cruising speed of over 300 km/h and a range of more than 500 km, which is currently being developed by the e.SAT GmbH in Aachen. It features an innovative boxwing and a unique hydrogen-electric (e) powertrain. This allows short take-off distances from almost any runway.
