Ampaire

Ampaire is preparing to conduct flight tests of its Eco Caravan, a modified Cessna Grand Caravan retrofitted with a hybrid-electric powertrain, on 100% SAF.

After the initial funding wave, investors grow leery of unfulfilled promises by startups.

Timothy Eyre, Monte’s COO, discussed the company’s vision for AAM leasing and shined some light on how Monte is approaching this new business line.

Developers of turbo- and diesel-electric generators offer flexibility.

Ampaire has acquired electric aero tow startup Magpie Aviation, part of its plan to branch out into new applications and expand its customer base.

Using the e-fuel in a hybrid powertrain more than doubles the efficiency of SAF usage, the company says.

Ampaire CEO Kevin Noertker says a half-size version of its flagship product—the AMP-H270—is poised to hike performance of smaller general aviation aircraft.

Ampaire is claiming a world record for hybrid-electric aircraft endurance after completing a nonstop 12-hr. flight with its Electric EEL propulsion testbed.

Ampaire expands hybrid family; liners for quiet nacelles; equipping airports for hydrogen; and delivery by drone and bike.

Tunnel test for Nexus; FAA revamps light sport rules; hybrid-electric for eVTOLs; and SMA power for VerdeGo’s hybrid.

Zipline’s home delivery drone; Amprius’ 500 Wh/kg battery; Ampaire flies for ARPA-E; and Wingcopter goes hydrogen.

Ampaire has begun flight-testing propulsion electrification technologies on its hybrid-electric testbed aircraft under contract to ARPA-E.

California-based Ampaire is a startup looking to develop and certify a hybrid-electric propulsion system for the Cessna Grand Caravan.
