"...Elfly Group's engineers started with some 300 design concepts for NoEmi - including radical six- and 10-propeller configurations - but narrowed their focus to a twin-motor nine-seat aircraft powered by lithium batteries and an electric power plant.

"The company hopes to produce a larger, 19-seat variant...will cruise at 135kt (250km/h) and have range of 108nm (200km), optimised for short trips between Norway’s fjords, lakes and coastal cities."
