The 2026 Electric Aircraft Symposium (EAS), organized by the Vertical Flight Society Federal City Chapter (VFS FCC), will take place July 18–19 at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh — just two days before the EAA AirVenture airshow officially opens.
Program Highlights: 12 Sessions, 50+ Speakers
EAS 2026 will feature 12 in-depth sessions with more than 50 speakers and moderators, spanning a broad range of electric aircraft categories, including:
- Light Sport Aircraft
- Training Aircraft
- General Aviation and Regional Aircraft
- Helicopters and Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) Aircraft
On the propulsion side, sessions will focus on battery-electric, hybrid-electric, and hydrogen-electric systems, with dedicated tracks on infrastructure and regulatory developments.
Strong Industry Lineup Confirmed
Confirmed industry participants include:
- Electric helicopter developer: Robinson
- eVTOL developers (9 companies): AIR, BETA, Eve, Horizon, Joby, Jump, Pivotal, Skyfly, Wisk
- Conventional electric fixed-wing developers (6 companies): Ampaire, AURA, Bye, Electra, EVIO, Pipistrel
- Propulsion system suppliers (6 companies): H2FLY, Hydroplane, magniX, Pratt & Whitney Canada, RED Aircraft, Whisper Aero
- Multiple infrastructure developers and technology partners
Two Key Policy Developments in Focus
EAS 2026 will place special emphasis on two significant U.S. policy developments expected to reinvigorate the electric aviation sector:
-
FAA MOSAIC Rule (Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification): For the first time, this rule extends the Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) category to include electric propulsion, rotorcraft, and powered-lift aircraft, fundamentally reshaping the general aviation certification framework.
-
FAA and U.S. Department of Transportation eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP): Eight pilot projects spanning 26 U.S. states, bringing together leading aircraft manufacturers, operators, state government partners, and airports.
Two Decades of Growth: From California to Oshkosh
EAS was originally launched in 2007 by the CAFE Foundation in Santa Rosa, California. In 2017 it relocated to Oshkosh to reach a broader aviation audience. Over nearly two decades, EAS has grown into one of the most important showcases for momentum and diversity in global electric aviation.
