Fast Technology reported on September 15 that Swedish hybrid aircraft manufacturer Heart Aerospace posted a blog post on September 13.
The announcement of the launch of the first size demonstration aircraft, the Heart X1, marks an important milestone in the development of its regional hybrid aircraft ES-30.
, The company will first use the aircraft for ground testing and plans to conduct its first flight test before the second half of 2025.
It is expected to become the largest electric aircraft ever launched.
, 
, the Heart X1 has a wingspan of 32 meters.
Since the HX-1 is not equipped with a traditional engine, the first flight will be entirely driven by electricity.
Subsequently, the company plans to pre-produce the HX-2 prototype for flight testing in 2026, and will upgrade it from the HX-1 model to a hybrid.
The engine cabin is located in the center of the wing rather than below the wing, which minimizes aerodynamic interference between the wing and the cabin at high angles of attack, thereby improving short takeoff and landing performance.
, According to officials, after the verification machine experiment is completed, a production version of the hybrid aircraft ES-30 will be launched.
The design plan is to carry 30 passengers, with a pure electric battery life of 200 kilometers, and a hybrid power extended range of 400 kilometers.
If it is equipped with a backup generator, the cruising range can reach 800 kilometers.
