We elevate critical missions.
Engineering the leading electrified aviation platform - made in Europe for those who protect, serve, and sustain what matters most.

ERC System is a Munich-based aviation startup that develops electrified aviation solutions for the most critical missions. The company’s hybrid-electric aircraft take off vertically like helicopters, but fly forward wing-borne, like airplanes. They provide high speeds, long ranges, and cost-efficient operations for patient, passenger, and cargo transport. ERC’s flagship product is a crewed, hybrid-electric lift-and-cruise aircraft optimized for interhospital patient transport.
Founded in 2020 by experienced aerospace professionals, ERC currently has approximately 60 employees and is backed by aerospace powerhouse IABG, a leading provider of testing and certification services for aircraft, spacecraft, and defense solutions. The team focuses on heads-down engineering, capital-efficient development, and designing aircraft that fulfill highest customer and regulatory requirements. Further Information on: www.erc-system.com
