Heart Aerospace has unveiled a substantial redesign of its planned electric regional aircraft and a deposit-backed purchase agreement from JSX for an initial 50 aircraft, with purchase rights for another 50.
Heart Aerospace receives FAA approval to begin flight tests of its X1 electric demonstrator, paving the way for hybrid-electric regional airliner development.
Hybrid-electric aircraft manufacturer Heart Aerospace has decided to move its corporate headquarters from Save airport near Gothenburg, Sweden, to Los Angeles.
Heart’s full-scale demonstrator has arrived in the U.S. as the Swedish startup prepares to conduct the first flight of the 105-ft.-span electric aircraft.
As the Swedish hybrid-electric startup takes a step toward flying a prototype of its regional aircraft, the road to certification remains long and risky.
Heart also plans to fly the X1 within the next six months from a yet-to-be-decided airport in the U.S., which would make it the first new-generation hybrid aircraft to reach that milestone.
