Leading regional aviation into an exciting new, sustainable era with nil emission, electric powered aircraft.

About us

Dovetail Electric Aviation is leading the regional and general aviation industry into an exciting new, sustainable era by enabling aviation operators to fly commercially viable regional routes in nil emission, electric powered aircraft. Dovetail is poised to become a global player and exporter of technology developed and integrated in Australia to the rest of the world. Dovetail is at the forefront of developing, certifying and distributing electric powered, nil emission propulsion systems for existing commuter aircraft – converting legacy aircraft into electric aircraft. Aside from zero emission flights, the benefits to the operator include significantly lower adoption costs, energy costs and maintenance costs. The activities Dovetail Electric is undertaking connects with a longer term vision to develop a completely new regional aircraft, the experience gained with the retrofit business will augment the power of Distributed Electric Propulsion and an optimized aerodynamic integrated design (with initial concept design work already completed by Dante). Dovetail’s headquarters and Directors are based in Australia, but with key personnel, customers and R&D also undertaken in Europe this opportunity will well and truly have global appeal.

  • Today is the day! We're excited to be attending the Australian Aviation Awards tonight! As a company dedicated to #sustainableaviation, we're honored to be recognized for our innovative work in the industry as the Best Innovation of the Year. Our team has been working tirelessly to develop groundbreaking technology that has the potential to revolutionize the way we fly. We've made significant strides in advancing hydrogen-powered flight, with our recent achievements including Australia's first true zero-emission power ground test at the Latrobe Airport and the successful testing of our hydrogen-electric powerplant prototype in Spain, the first of its time to be tested in the country. We're eager to see the results of the awards and celebrate the achievements of all the nominees. Stay tuned for updates on the ceremony and watch this space for more information on our innovative technology. Have a refresh of a snapshot of our test in Spain of our hydrogen-electric powerplant prototype in action:

    We are excited to share a glimpse of our latest hydrogen-electric powerplant prototype in action – the first of its kind to be tested in Spain, presented yesterday at our Open Day. In the video, all you can hear is the whisper of the wind and the hum of the propeller blades. Imagine, an equivalent turbine engine would be roaring loudly, but our innovation brings a serene - and cleaner! - quiet to the skies. Apart from reducing costs and emissions, and minimizing maintenance, zero-emission aviation is also about creating a quieter and more peaceful environment around our skies and airports. We love the sound of that future! 🌍✈️ We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us and supported our vision. The Open Day was a tremendous success, and we are filled with joy and excitement. This is a pivotal moment for electric aviation, and we are proud to be at the forefront of this transformative journey. This is Dovetail Electric Aviation. This is the way! #SustainableAviation #HydrogenElectric #Innovation #DovetailElectricAviation #FutureOfFlight #GreenAviation

  • Last month, we unveiled our cutting-edge hydrogen-electric powerplant prototype during our Open Day in Spain. Designed for aircraft with under 20 passengers, this innovative system combines hydrogen fuel cell technology and electric propulsion to convert existing aircraft like the Cessna Caravan, Beechcraft King Air, Twin Otter, and Pilatus PC-12 into emission-free electric planes. Some of the key features of our powerplant are: 🔋 Hydrogen Fuel Cell System: Generates electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, emitting only water vapor-ensuring zero emissions. 🔧 Modular Design: Integrates seamlessly into various aircraft models, facilitating retrofitting and broad applicability. 🛠️ Compact Integration: Customized for the King Air with all components (except the hydrogen tank) housed within the existing engine nacelle, requiring minimal structural modifications. ⚡ Efficiency and Performance: Engineered to maintain high efficiency and performance, significantly reducing fuel costs and environmental impact while providing sufficient power for regional flights. Our prototype offers a 40% reduction in operating costs for regional airlines and opens new regional routes that were previously economically unfeasible, paving the way for a more sustainable future in aviation. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to innovate and lead the transition to greener aviation! #SustainableAviation #HydrogenElectric #Innovation #ElectricAviation #DovetailElectricAviation #AviationIndustry
