Sirius Aviation, designer and developer of the world’s first hydrogen-powered regional jet, has unveiled two offerings in its intended product line: the Sirius CEO-JET and the Sirius Adventure Jet.
Developed in collaboration with BMW Group Designworks, the launch of the two aircraft “represents a major milestone in our mission to revolutionise air travel with sustainable solutions,” said Alexy Popov, Sirius Aviation CEO. “The CEO-JET offers an eco-friendly option for business travel, while the Adventure Jet opens new horizons for global tourism and exploration”.
Both high-wing, V-tailed, canard-configured variants employ a hydrogen-electric powertrain (publicly unveiled by Sirius Aviation in January 2024) to drive a unique hydrogen-electric powerplant, with ducted fans set into the wings. Both variants will cruise at speeds of up to 323 knots, offer of a range of up to 1,150 miles, and be capable of taking off and landing vertically.
The CEO-JET model is described by its manufacturer as “combining sustainable business aviation with modern luxury,” able to seat three passengers. The Adventure Jet has capacity for five passengers, described as being “designed for leisure and adventurous pursuits”. The VTOL capability of the aircraft will be especially useful for providing “seamless access to uncharted territories” including “remote jungles, majestic mountains, and untouched destinations”.
“We’re bridging a gap for individuals who aspire to own a business jet with pride in a future that values eco-consciousness,” concluded Popov. “Our customers will inspire admiration and respect, fostering a culture of positivity rather than judgement or criticism”.
