ELIRE Aero and Ampaire have announced a partnership to offer “clean propulsion options” with a focus on RAM (regional air mobility).
“Both companies are aligned in working towards the provision of clean energy aircraft to the market as soon as possible, using existing aircraft” according to the press release. “Ampaire will partner with ELIRE Aero to provide the scope of works necessary to certify the existing airframes with their hybrid systems.
“RAM brings together new aviation technologies and existing small airport infrastructure into a transportation model that is more equitable, more economical, and more environmentally friendly for air travel over short distances, in comparison to current solutions. If these changes materialise, the total addressable market (TAM) for small regional flights globally is estimated to reach USD75 billion to USD115 billion by 2035, representing 300 to 700 million passengers annually.
“ELIRE Aero will remain energy source agnostic as an OEM offering standard engines in their hybrid, electric and hydrogen powered aircraft, while continuing to work towards the integration of further advanced technologies into the airframes in the future, following the demands of the market.”
