Electric Flight will revolutionize our lives.
Today inventors and creative thinkers are working globally to create electric aircraft that can drastically change the way we move goods and people—potentially even transforming our commutes and personal travel. Brought to scale, electric airplanes will contribute to solving a complex set of modern challenges, including urban street traffic, noise pollution and environmental degradation, and will make flight cheaper and more accessible worldwide.

LEAP is accelerating the development of the electric aircraft industry and inspiring a new generation of innovators.
The LEAP Electric Flight Program stimulates meaningful advances in the emerging electric aircraft industry through a range of activities, from prizes to advocacy. Our leadership is helping remove barriers to the industry’s growth. Every year we seek out and award the people and companies engaging in enterprising new work in the field. Our work with the media to showcase entrepreneurs and champions of electric flight is increasing the visibility of this rapidly evolving industry, helping to position it for greater investment. We advocate for recognition of this new generation of aircraft in government rules and regulations, making industry expansion possible.

• International Lindbergh Prizes for achievement in electric flight
