Bengaluru startup marks milestone with India's largest electric aircraft test
Sarla Aviation, a startup based in Bengaluru, has wrapped up flight trials for its Sylla 1.0 electric aircraft, which weighs 700 kg and stands as the heaviest of its kind in India. The testing phase spanned six months, involving upwards of 500 individual tests and 18 hours in the air. This model serves as a 50% scale prototype for a future six-passenger air taxi intended to reduce travel times in traffic-heavy urban areas.
