Daher Aerospace and Ascendance Flight Technologies have announced a collaboration that “further underlines Daher Group ambitions to leverage innovation and accelerate the decarbonization of its activities, with particular emphasis on its Aircraft division” according to the company.
According to the press release “These decarbonisation ambitions are set out in the Take Off 2027 strategic plan announced by Daher earlier this year, and are supported by a high level of R&D project investment, made possible by the fact that this innovation budget has quadrupled since 2017.
“Ascendance Flight Technologies is a French startup and pioneer in the low-carbon aviation market. Founded in 2018, the company develops solutions, technologies and hardware to hybridise propulsion systems, and leverages the potential of hybridisation to accelerate the transition to a new model of air mobility.
“The Toulouse-based startup will contribute its expertise in hybrid-electric propulsion systems architecture, modelling, integration and testing to the collaboration with Daher. As a result, it will be able to test its technology on successful CS23-category aircraft, designed and marketed by Daher Aerospace.”
