Electroflight Ltd (Electroflight) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate with Williams Advanced Engineering on the design, development and manufacture of an electric aircraft with the objective of setting the world speed record for electric aircraft.

We are certain that the combined expertise of the teams will enable us to achieve our goal and break the world speed record for electric aircraft."
