Heart Aerospace has unveiled its HX-1, a 30-seat hybrid-electric aircraft prototype, targeting commercial flights by the end of 2029 after a delayed certification timeline.
Anders Forslund, CEO, emphasized the quick rollout of the HX-1, celebrating the team's ingenuity in developing a new propulsion system largely in-house within two years.
The hybrid-electric ES-30 airliner will have a range of 200 km, significantly serving clean short-haul flights—almost a third of EU flights cover under 500 km.
Heart Aerospace secured 250 orders and 191 letters of intent, with airlines like United and SAS leading a trend toward electric short-haul commercial flights.
