Freedom to connect. Anywhere.
NOEMI, short for NO EMISSIONS. Born electric. Built amphibious. The world’s first fully electric, go-anywhere seaplane. Clean. Quiet. Efficient. Designed to connect people and places others can’t reach.
NOEMI's flight test programme is now fully funded.

“Seaplanes typically operate on short missions, around an hour, rather than the three-hour legs common in general aviation. Today’s battery technology supports seaplane operations very well.”
Simon Bendrey, Head of Design and Chief Engineer, NOEMI Aerospace
01
BUILT FOR WATER. READY FOR RUNWAYS.
NOEMI takes off and lands on both water and runways. Opening up coastlines, rivers, lakes and harbors - the natural runways that cover 70% of our planet.
It requires no new airports, minimal infrastructure and offers maximum flexibility. That means better connections, new routes and new opportunities for people, communities and operators alike.
NOEMI isn’t just an aircraft. It’s a more efficient and cleaner way to connect the world.
02
THE PROBLEM WE FIX
The seaplane concept is exceptionally well suited to regional aviation, but the industry and its technology have not kept pace.
Much of today’s fleet is built on outstanding designs from another era. Beautiful and safe aircraft. Today, however, fleets are typically 30–70 years old, making them noisy, inefficient and costly to operate, as well as increasingly misaligned with current and future requirements.
Operators face rising maintenance costs, stricter regulation and growing pressure to reduce emissions and noise. The result is a proven market constrained by outdated aircraft.
This is exactly the gap NOEMI is designed to close.
03
A MARKET IN NEED OF CHANGE
Despite the limitations of today’s fleets, seaplanes operate profitably in markets such as the US, Canada and the Maldives. Globally, however, their potential remains largely untapped.
But, outdated aircraft limit scale, market expansion, economics and acceptance.
NOEMI is designed to outperform the current fleet in today’s market, while unlocking thousands of new, viable routes worldwide.
04
ELECTRIC MAKES SENSE
Seaplane routes are short. They operate at altitudes and speeds where electric propulsion is most efficient.
The median seaplane route in the US is just 75 km, well within the range where electric aviation delivers its strongest benefits.
This isn’t a theoretical exercise or a compromise. It’s where electric aviation makes commercial sense.
05
A GAMECHANGING AIRCRAFT
NOEMI changes the game.
We replace fossil propulsion with electric power, corroding metals with modern composites, and reimagine aerodynamic and hydrodynamic efficiency from the ground up.
The result is future-proof regional aviation, cleaner, quieter, more efficient and economical to operate. Built for operators, communities and the planet.

VERSATILE BY DESIGN
One aircraft. Multiple missions. NOEMI is an aircraft with many use cases, from commuter and executive travel to cargo and special missions.
COMMUTER
The versatile base model for 9-passengers optimized for efficient, quiet and comfortable regional travel.
EXECUTIVE
A premium and bespoke configuration with luxury interior finishes for ultimate comfort and convenience.
CARGO
Maximized payload, 4 euro-pallet capacity, transforming regional logistics.
SPECIAL MISSION
Adaptable configuration for specialized operations like medevac and essential services for remote regions.
NOEMI is engineered for real-world operations.
Our proprietary Mission Insight Model - MIM is grounded in real demand drivers, real cost structures and real operational constraints, but is not limited to today’s routes.
It allows operators to simulate both existing and entirely new routes, combining conventional airport infrastructure with water operations on fjords, rivers, lakes and coastal hubs.
MIM simulates cost per seat, energy consumption, time savings, infrastructure requirements and emissions reduction across realistic operating scenarios, including those unlocked by NOEMI’s amphibious, electric design.
Most importantly, it turns ambition into evidence, providing essential insight into how NOEMI is designed to operate in the real world, and what it takes to deliver successful missions.
“NOEMI modernises a proven aviation concept with technology that finally matches today’s operational, economic and regulatory realities.”
Eric Lithun, Founder and CEO, NOEMI Aerospace
Demand for NOEMI is already strong. By January 1st, 2026, we have secured 70+ soft orders across five continents.
Operators are lining up because the demand is real and underserved. NOEMI addresses concrete operational needs while meeting both current and future requirements for cost, infrastructure flexibility and emissions.
This includes operators such as Pan Am / UrbanLink, Nordic Seaplanes, VET Airways and Hellenic Seaplanes, operators who recognize NOEMI as a credible aircraft designed to unlock new regional connectivity.
We’re not dreaming. We’re delivering. NOEMI has been validated through extensive testing, including water tanks, wind tunnels, sub-scale flight tests and simulations.
Results are exceeding expectations. The design is now locked, and a PAC agreement with EASA is in place.
We are building the full-scale prototype, with first flight planned for 2027 and commercial operations targeted for 2030.
