Dutch start-up Maeve Aerospace has radically redesigned its regional aircraft concept. From an all-electric 52-seater using batteries, Maeve now intends to bring a hybrid-electric 80-seater to the market in 2031. The company announced the M80 model in a media release on Monday morning, but AirInsight spoke to Maeve.
“The redesign is the result of customer feedback, market analysis, and the conviction that we can reduce carbon dioxide more with this aircraft. We think 80-seaters have a healthy future in the market,” says CEO Jan-Willem Heinen.
