Farnborough, England, July 24, 2024 – The early development of advanced air mobility solutions using VoltAero’s Cassio electric-hybrid aircraft will be explored in a wide-ranging agreement with Sigma Air Mobility, opening the potential for a route demonstration pilot project, along with the identification of services for Cassio in its air ambulance version.
This Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was announced today during a press conference at the 2024 Farnborough International Airshow, bringing VoltAero’s pioneering development of the Cassio airplane family and its company’s unique parallel electric-hybrid propulsion system together with Sigma Air Mobility’s expertise as a network operator.
The pilot project envisioned in the agreement will showcase the Cassio’s capabilities in operational conditions, while also fostering local network growth and defining use cases. Its location will be announced later this year.
Also identified in the MoU is the joint opportunity to develop industry technical standards for airport recharging infrastructures, facilities and the related technologies; along with the potential collaboration on operating models, economics and decarbonization trends and metrics to further adjust growth plans.
