VoltAero’s Cassio electric-hybrid aircraft family has been recognised for its design excellence by the l’Institut Français du Design (French Institute of Design).
The company has received the 2023 Janus Label of Excellence for the ‘sleek, aerodynamically-optimized fuselage’ of the Cassio aircraft. Dassault Systèmes’ DESIGNStudio was also recognised for its work in visualizing VoltAero’s concept through immersive virtual modeling.
“The Janus Label of Excellence has become a benchmark for designs that represent sustainability through creativity,” said Jean Botti, VoltAero’s CEO and chief technology officer. “Cassio’s selection reflects our goal to develop a truly unique general aviation family of aircraft with electric-hybrid propulsion as the future for safe, quiet, efficient and eco-friendly flight.”
VoltAero’s first production aircraft version will be the Cassio 330, with a four/five-seat interior configuration and operating on a combined electric-hybrid propulsion power of 330 kilowatts. It is to be followed by the six-seat Cassio 480 with a combined electric-hybrid propulsion power of 480 kilowatts, and the Cassio 600 – sized at a 10/12-seat capacity with electric-hybrid propulsion power of 600 kilowatts.
