Jekta Switzerland SA will debut at Abu Dhabi Air Expo 2022 with the design of the new 19-seat all-electric amphibious aircraft PHA-ZE 100. The aircraft’s name defines its main features:
The use of a new electric seaplane will create a segment of sustainable transport mobility for the population living in megacities and small settlements located on the coast of the seas and oceans, connect islands, and preserve the unique nature of wildlife sanctuaries that have become popular as tourists’ attractions.
The PHA-ZE 100 aircraft is unique not only as a representative of “green aviation”.
For the first time since the middle of the last century, Jekta Switzerland is proposing a commercial displacement seaplane. Currently, the commuter seaplane segment is only operating floatplanes: the basic models which entered the commercial operators more than fifty years ago. Unlike its predecessors, the PHA-ZE 100 is made of modern composite materials, equipped with modern navigation and piloting systems and an electric propulsion system, and provides commuter passengers with comfortable flight conditions.
