Maeve Aerospace

Dutch startup is the latest to move away from all-electric propulsion and toward a larger hybrid design that it hopes will better meet market requirements.

Maeve Aerospace has revealed plans for an 80-seat hybrid-electric turboprop offering 40% lower fuel burn in cruise than the aircraft it is replacing.

A group of European aviation and mobility organizations have joined forces to jointly pave the way for the introduction of electric regional aviation.

The Maeve 01 is planned to enter service with 44 seats but will be sized to seat 52 passengers when upgraded with higher-performance batteries.

Maeve Aerospace plans to develop a 44-seat electric regional airliner with a design range of 300 nm.

Netherlands’ electric aircraft startup Venturi Aviation has closed a €3.4 million ($3.6 million) funding round and unveiled a new name, Maeve Aerospace.
