Embrace Aerodynamics

In aerodynamics, the word drag defines air’s natural tendency to slow things down. It steals your vehicles energy and decreases your fuel economy.

To be more efficient, we aim to reduce drag by becoming more aerodynamic . Much like a bird gliding through the wind.

At Aptera we learn from nature and apply those lessons to create forms that work with wind, rather than against it. The result is the Aptera 2e.

Introducing the Transportation Diet

Weight is the measure of gravity acting on an object. The more weight you carry, the more difficult it is to get moving.

To be more efficient, we reduce weight to be more nimble, much like a gazelle.

So we put the 2e on a diet. Cutting the total weight to nearly half of the average vehicle. Take that gravity!

Personal Armored Vehicle

Don’t believe us? Well, when you can carry the weight of two elephants on your roof with barely a dent you are doing something right.

To Aptera, safety is not a punch line. It’s a fundamental principle that encompasses the protection of all things of value in your vehicle, including and, most importantly, you.

Composite body structures provide an impact-resistant exterior that is lighter than steel but three times as strong. Front crash zones incorporate race car technology that absorbs and deflects energy to keep the cabin from harm. Integrated high-strength aluminum door beams transfer crash loads into the body and away from the cabin. And a complement of driver and passenger air bags is incorporated to ensure that each passenger is always secure.
