VoltAero has confirmed its support for the development of an electric regional air mobility industry in Europe by signing up to the Power Up initiative.
By signing the memorandum of understanding (MoU), VoltAero will participate in test flights in the Netherlands to help define operational procedures and the passenger experience with electric aircraft in inter-regional air transportation.
“The Power Up initiative is an excellent opportunity to show how Cassio and other e-airplanes offer the solution to introducing a new era of efficient air mobility with low-carbon emissions and reduced noise,” said Jean Botti, VoltAero’s CEO and chief technology officer, who signed the Power Up MoU in Eindhoven (pictured). “As we progress toward Cassio’s production and service introduction, we are proud to partner with the Power Up initiative in pioneering sustainable aviation.”
Other aviation and mobility organizations signing the Power Up MoU include six Dutch airports, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, the Dutch Railways, the Netherlands Aerospace Center and several consultancies.
VoltAero’s first production aircraft version will be the Cassio 330, with a four or five-seat interior configuration and operating on a combined electric-hybrid propulsion power of 330 kilowatts.
