H3 Dynamics is already working with aircraft OEMs including Airbus UpNext, the EU-backed program Hypotrade led by Pipistrel and NLR, Qdot Technology, Sea Cheetah, Lyte Aviation and several others.
Testing will validate the performance, stability and control of the vehicle design to confirm preliminary configuration, range, and speed estimates, as well as how the rotors interact with the vehicle aerodynamics.
The European electric aircraft experts will form the basis of a whole new segment under the Textron eAviation name, focused on urban air mobility, general aviation, cargo and special mission roles.
The drive to develop sustainable products is a key focus for BAE Systems, including electrification, increased use of synthetics and other greener energy sources. Pipistrel bring considerable experience to the party.
This trainer has an autopilot, dual touch-screen glass cockpit, dual COM, ADS-B In & Out, haptic stall-warning, full-airframe ballistic parachute rescue system, type-certified hydraulic constant-speed propeller and airbrakes.
Pipistrel is the maker of the first and still only type-certified electric aircraft in the world, the VELIS Electro, with expertise in clean sheet design through to project completion.
The MAHEPA Panthera has flown from Cerklje airport in Slovenia, demonstrating the possibility of local zero-emission flights by performing all-electric take-offs.
Research at the Technical University of Munich is behind the Amazalia flight control system which will steer Pipistrel's heavy cargo hybrid VTOL drone. The partners hope it will see service in 2023.
Bringing C-astra onboard will help Pipistrel develop its UAS for the fast-growing Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance - C4ISR - market.
