Swiss aviation start-up Sirius Aviation has unveiled the Sirius Jet, a hydrogen-powered vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, crafted and designed in collaboration with BMW’s Designworks and Sauber Group. The Sirius Jet is a zero-emission VTOL aircraft propelled by a hydrogen-electric propulsion system. It is planned to take flight in 2025 in two versions: Sirius Business Jet, tailored to private jet needs, and Sirius Millennium Jet, crafted for commercial aviation. Both aircraft are designed to offer a 323mph cruise speed, 30,000ft altitude capability, and 60dBa sound footprint. The Sirius Business Jet is to offer a flight range of 1,150 miles and accommodate three passengers. The Sirius Millennium Jet is to offer a 650-mile flight range and accommodate up to five passengers.

A flurry of announcements has seen Deutsche Aircraft move closer to delivering its next-generation D328eco 40-seat turboprop. The German manufacturer recently revealed deals with Acro for economy class seats and NORDAM for nacelle collaboration, while also naming Wings Aviation Private Limited as a launch customer. Powered by the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127XT-S and equipped with Garmin avionics, the D328eco is the next-generation evolution of the Dornier 328 turboprop, introduced into service in 1993. Deutsche Aircraft supports the global 328 fleet, referring to the type as D328, and a smaller number of the jet-powered version, the D328JET. Legacy D328 business continues for Deutsche Aircraft. It has agreed to supply an aircraft to German Aerospace Center (DLR), the German flight research center, for sustainability work, while customers continue to receive simulator training from Simulator Training Solution GmbH after Deutsche Aircraft secured their continuing collaboration in 2020. Anastasija Visnakova joined Deutsche Aircraft as vice president sales and marketing in August 2022. With more than 20 years’ regional airline experience, her emphasis is notably on the true regionality of aviation connectivity, including essential services to otherwise isolated communities. #aviation #aerospace #collaboration #airline #aircraft #business
