Eviation to Supply 30 Alice All-Electric Commuter Aircrafts to

All-electic aircraft manufacturer, Eviation Aircraft Inc., announced yesterday that Aerus, an emerging local airline in Mexico, has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) for its 30 Alice aircrafts. Aerus plans to use Alice for middle-mile travel across regions like Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Veracruz. This will provide underserved communities in the northern parts of the country access to convenient, carbon-free and economical air travel.

With a seating capacity of 9, Alice is the world’s first flight-tested all-electric commuter aircraft. The model’s clean-sheet design is emission-free and costs significantly less to operate per flight when compared with light jets or high-end turboprops. The two magni650 electric propulsion units designed by magniX, the multinational industry leader in flight-proven electric propulsion systems, powers the Alice.

As a newcomer to the aviation sector, Aerus, is committed to providing sustainable and carbon-free technology, and will launch its commercial operations this year. The company will use Monterrey Airport (MYT) as its regional hub, offering a broader flight schedule and serving routes not yet covered by other airlines. . The company’s addition of electric aircraft to its fleet will help them cut down their carbon emissions by 50% this year.

Gregory Davis, President, and CEO at Eviation, said, "Just as Uber disrupted the taxi market, Alice promises to usher in 'UberAir' through the introduction of low-cost, point-to-point air travel." He added, "Our aircraft is an ideal fit for Aerus as many flights in northern Mexico are already less than 250 miles. We are always pleased to receive the endorsement of forward-thinking airlines that are keen to address the climate challenge and be part of the future of aviation."

Universal Hydrogen Signs Strategic Agreement with Air New Zealand

Universal Hydrogen | February 10, 2023

Universal Hydrogen Co., with its carbon-free aviation, is developing the airline industry with hydrogen aviation. It recently announced it had signed a strategic partnership with Air New Zealand as part of the airline's Mission Next Gen Aircraft program, which is growing. Along with the block, Air New Zealand chose Universal Hydrogen as its long-term partner program as it aims to focus on sustainable solutions for its fleet. Universal Hydrogen is working to turn existing regional planes into ones that can fly on hydrogen and use a modular fueling system to supply hydrogen to the fleet. This eliminates the need for new airport infrastructure, speeds up fueling, and reduces transfer losses along the hydrogen delivery chain. Air New Zealand's regional fleet could use its conversion kits once tested and approved. Co-founder and CEO of Universal Hydrogen, Paul Eremenko, said, "As the second-largest turboprop operator in the world, Air New Zealand is a trendsetter for the industry." He continued. "We fully expect other airlines to follow in Air New Zealand's footsteps toward a true zero emissions solution for their fleets. We're thrilled to be selected alongside Air New Zealand's other long-term partners—Airbus, ATR, Embraer, and Heart Aerospace—to quickly address aviation's contributions to the climate crisis." (Source: BusinessWire) About Universal Hydrogen Universal Hydrogen is a Los Angeles (California) based company developing a hydrogen logistics network to fuel the future of aviation. Hydrogen is an ideal fuel for flying, and it will power the next age of aviation when planes run on renewable energy and only release water. The modular hydrogen capsules made by the company move directly from the factory to an airplane anywhere in the world using the existing freight network. The company is further working on getting certification as a powertrain conversion kit to retrofit existing regional aircraft to fly on hydrogen.

Stratolaunch’s Second Captive Carry Flight Successful with Test Vehicle, TA-0

Stratolaunch | January 17, 2023

Aerospace company, Stratolaunch, recently completed the second captive carry flight using the Talon-A separation test vehicle, TA-O. This marks the 9th flight for Roc, the company's launch platform. This flight achieved a new record of six hours of total flight time reaching a maximum altitude of 22,500 feet, this marks another important step towards the company's near-term objective of completing separation testing with the TA-0. The primary test objectives included flying for the first time outside the Mojave region and analyzing the separation environment. Before the release of TA-0, the onboard data systems of Roc and TA-0 provide crucial information on the aerodynamic loads and moments, ensuring the safe separation of the vehicle from Roc. The flight crew also rehearsed chase formation and communication sequencing to prepare for the upcoming separation test. A flight data review will ascertain the next steps required on the test timeline. Stratolaunch continues to progress towards its separation test and is on track for TA-1's first hypersonic flight during the first half of 2023. Dr. Zachary Krevor, CEO and President of Stratolaunch, said, "Our amazing team is continuing to make progress on our test timeline, and it is through their hard work that we grow closer than ever to safe separation and our first hypersonic flight tests." He further added, "The thorough evaluation of release conditions will provide data to reduce risks and ensure a clean and safe release of Talon-A during future tests, we are excited for what's ahead this year as we bring our hypersonic flight test service online for our customers and the nation."
