About the Alpha Electro

The Pipistrel Alpha Electro is a fixed-wing ultralight aircraft from Slovenia designed primarily as a two-seat light-sport trainer configured with side-by-side seating. Suited for flight schools seeking affordable acquisition and operating outlays, this single-engine cantilever high-wing aircraft utilizes tricycle landing gear and a tractor powerplant layout.

Derived structurally from the manufacturer's Virus model, the design underwent geometric simplification utilizing single-skin laminate composites and strengthened landing components tailored for circuit training. The cockpit relies on traditional round-dial instruments alongside a ballistic parachute system supplied as standard equipment. An electric variant launched later positioned the company at the forefront of commercially available battery-powered aviation.
