VoltAero began certification tests for the Cassio hybrid electric aircraft , which develops a hybrid electric propulsion system, intended to be used in the Cassio 330 , a five-seat aircraft. From its headquarters in Bayonne, France, in collaboration with Akira Technologies, this step represents a significant advance in its technological development.

Features of the Cassio hybrid electric aircraft

The Cassio 330 is equipped with a propulsion system that combines a Safran ENGINeUS 100 electric motor, which provides 180 kW, and a 150 kW Kawasaki thermal engine. The latter is an adaptation of the engine used in certain motorcycle models and offers a backup solution and extension of autonomy to the electrical system.

In relation to its product offering, VoltAero not only focuses on the Cassio 330, but also develops the Cassio 480, a six-seat model, and the Cassio 600, designed for 10 to 12 passengers, thus expanding its range of aircraft. electric hybrids aimed at different segments of the aeronautical market.

Future focuses of the company

The French company aims to achieve certification of the Cassio 330 by the end of 2025 . With a view to this goal, a new plant is in the process of being built in Rochefort, France, scheduled to open at the end of this year, where this model will be manufactured.

This approach by VoltAero towards hybrid aircraft promises improvements in fuel efficiency and reductions in carbon footprint and also represents a significant push towards sustainability in regional aviation. With these developments, the company is positioned at the forefront of aerospace technology, offering innovative solutions that could revolutionize air travel and contribute to a greener future. In addition, the company plans to follow the Cassio 330 with the six-seat Cassio 480 and the 10/12-seat Cassio 600, expanding its line of hybrid electric aircraft.
