The manufacturer estimates the orders will have a market value north of $8 billion once fully realized.
The deals include up to 280 electric and hybrid-electric designs from Horizon Aircraft, Overair, and Electra.aero.
Electra is preparing to start flight testing a technology demonstrator for its nine-passenger, hybrid-electric, ultra-short-takeoff-and landing aircraft.
In some ways, the unexpected halt in traveling in 2020 may have helped boost this transition.
While eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft promise to revolutionize urban air mobility, being able to use compact spaces located in high-density urban areas, eSTOL (electric short take-off and landing) flying devices come with an equally attractive offer. Airflow and Honeywell teamed up to develop such an aircraft.
