  Electra is an American aerospace manufacturer developing hybrid-electric "Ultra Short"
  aircraft that combine blown lift with hybrid-electric propulsion to take off and land in
  roughly 150 feet, removing the runway from regional air travel. Founded in 2020 by Dr.
  John Langford, the founder of Aurora Flight Sciences, with MIT professors John Hansman
  and Mark Drela as technical advisors, Electra flew its EL2 Goldfinch technology
  demonstrator in November 2023 and submitted an FAA Part 23 type-certification
  application for the nine-passenger EL9 Ultra Short in December 2025. The company reports
  more than 2,200 pre-orders from over 60 operators, and works both a commercial regional
  air-mobility market and a defense last-tactical-leg airlift market backed by U.S. Air
  Force SBIR Phase III and STTR contracts. It is headquartered in Manassas, Virginia, with
  operations in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Switzerland and a production facility under
  development at AirPark Ohio adjacent to Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport. Strategic
  investors include Lockheed Martin Ventures, Honeywell and Safran. Electra publishes no
  developer program, API reference or machine-readable specification; the one public,
  anonymous JSON API it serves is the Statamic CMS content surface behind its newsroom,
  discovered and documented here by probe.

    Public, unauthenticated, CORS-open JSON API serving the Electra.aero newsroom — press
    releases, program milestones and syndicated coverage. This is the default Statamic
    Content REST API behind the corporate site; Electra neither documents nor supports it.
    Discovered and verified by probe on 2026-08-12 (124 entries, HTTP 200 anonymous). Only
    the `news` collection is exposed; every other Statamic resource returns 404.

  detail: >-
    Electra.aero publishes no developer program, but STEP 0b contract discovery found a
    live, anonymous, CORS-open JSON API on the provider's own host - the Statamic content
    surface at https://electra.aero/api serving 124 newsroom entries - which is captured
    here as a probe-derived OpenAPI 3.1 rather than recorded as "no API surface".

x-enrichment-notes: >-
  Pointers deliberately NOT emitted, because the underlying thing does not exist and a
  pointer would assert that it does - WellKnown and SecurityTxt (all eight /.well-known/
  paths 404), AgentCard (agent-card.json and agent.json both 404), MCPServer (no server
  published; mcp/ holds a candidate projection only), SDKs (no package on any registry),
  StatusPage (status.electra.aero NXDOMAIN), Deprecation (no policy), Security and
  VulnerabilityDisclosure (no security.txt, no disclosure page), Compliance and TrustCenter
  (no published certifications), Idempotency (read-only surface, no idempotency contract),
  ChangeLog (the newsroom is corporate news, not a dated API changelog), AsyncAPI and
  Webhooks (no event surface), Pricing, SignUp, TermsOfService, PrivacyPolicy,
  DeveloperPortal, Documentation, APIReference, GettingStarted, Roadmap, Sandbox, CLI,
  Postman and GitHubOrganization (none published - see x-coverage). The
  github.com/Electra-Aero organization does exist but has zero public repositories, no
  public members and no verification, so it is recorded here rather than wired as a
  GitHubOrganization pointer.
