From flying hardware to a fielded capability
This week, our colleagues Maximilian Oligschläger, Andreas Thellmann, and Benedikt Albertsen had the honor of hosting Tobias Gotthardt, Vice Minister in the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, at our flight test facilities in Erding.
We presented our full-scale & full-mass prototype, which has been flight testing since November. Now it is time to build the ecosystem around the vehicle together with partners and suppliers and to take steps towards industrialization.
We share the view that electrified aviation can be the key enabler of numerous critical missions: Real use cases such as air medical services, defense, firefighting, or special logistics.
To strengthen European resilience and technological sovereignty, we need more competitive funding support in Europe, as well as strong political commitment to support early-stage ventures on their journey towards market entry.
