Stakeholders from the Netherlands and the UK are examining how electric aircraft could be used on short “hop” services across the North Sea. The focus is on improving sustainability versus conventional options while assessing what an electric air bridge could look like in practice.
French hybrid-electric aviation firm Ascendance will host the eVTOL Insights Europe Conference in Toulouse on Oct. 15, bringing delegates together for industry engagement around emerging eVTOL programs. An exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Ascendance’s facilities is scheduled for the following day, Oct. 16, as part of the event program.
SASMOS HET Technologies has signed a memorandum of understanding with The ePlane Company (Ubifly Technologies Private Limited) to provide Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems (EWIS) engineering and industrialisation expertise for the e200X electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft programme.
A Bristow Helicopters-led consortium has launched Project SEAN, the Scottish Electric Aviation Network, after securing £31.5 million in funding from the UK Department for Transport. The initiative is aimed at demonstrating electric aircraft in Scotland’s Highlands and Islands, supporting the region’s transition toward low-emission aviation operations.
Archer and Anduril are positioning a hybrid-power, autonomous, runway-independent heavy-drone design for civil and defense missions, rather than advancing Archer’s electric flying-taxi concept in that “heavy-drone” configuration. The companies describe autonomy and hybrid propulsion as the core enablers for the loyal-wingman role.
UK-based Sora Aviation, at the Farnborough International Airshow, announced an MOI with Honeywell Technologies for sensing-solution work to support development of its 30-seat S-1 electric eVTOL. The partnership was announced alongside a Toray Advanced Composites collaboration focused on progressing the program for commercial scale.
Eve Air Mobility has entered a partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation to support development of advanced air mobility (AAM) infrastructure and operational integration in the state. The effort is tied to SunTrax, aimed at accelerating eVTOL deployment groundwork at a state level.
