In 2024, the FAA granted Pipistrel's Velis Electro a light-sport aircraft (LSA) airworthiness exemption, offering a lower-cost and more sustainable learning platform for student pilots. 

In 2020, Pipistrel’s Velis Electro became the world’s first, and currently only, electric aircraft to receive full type-certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). 

This achievement followed a series of electric aircraft introductions since the company began research and development of electric propulsion in 2000.

Pipistrel’s pioneering work has been recognized through awards from NASA, IDC, and other organizations. 

The company, which offers a family of gliders and light aircraft with both electric and combustion engines, has delivered more than 2,500 light aircraft worldwide since its founding in 1989 and additionally has both hybrid and electric propulsion models under development.
