A geared electric propulsion unit has reduced motor diameter by half while supporting demanding lift and cruise requirements.
The propulsion system is set to power a modified RV-10 as rising costs and ageing fleets drive demand for alternatives to traditional engines.
The hub will support advanced commercial and defence engineering programmes, strengthening collaboration with Anduril UK and GKN on British Army and Ministry of Defence initiatives.
A long-term agreement between the two companies supports certification plans and advances development toward commercial service in 2028.
EASA-supervised test campaign confirms ability to contain worst-case failures, enabling scalable commercialisation of electric aircraft propulsion systems.
Initial deliveries of the 400kW-class system are planned for 2026, with testing and leasing activity already underway for early adopters.
Government backing secured H55’s headquarters in Québec, enabling the company to expand into North America with facilities committed to electric propulsion and sustainable aviation.
H55’s electric aircraft flew below ambient thresholds at three of six monitoring points during flights alongside a piston-engine comparison aircraft.
The programme followed earlier successful R44 test flights and aimed to develop a battery-electric solution using the HeliStorm engine and Samson battery.
The company's lightweight, high-speed electric engines offer scalable power and support hybrid-electric helicopters with airborne power generation
ATEA’s hybrid-electric propulsion system will integrate Safran’s EASA-certified ENGINeUS motors, with ground testing already underway in southern France.
The certified electric motor will support new air mobility, from small aircraft to future hybrid propulsion systems.
The LCA60T airship will use 32 D250 motors for efficient, sustainable heavy-lift cargo transport with reduced emissions.
