Swedish electric airplane manufacturer Heart Aerospace’s first electric aircraft, ES-30, has an expected entry into service in 2028.

Rockton has signed a letter of intent with Heart Aerospace to acquire up to 40 aircraft. Heart Aerospace has unveiled significant design updates to the electric aircraft.

The ES-30 is a regional electric airplane with a capacity of 30 passengers. It is propelled by electric motors powered by batteries, allowing the airplane to operate at zero emissions and low noise. The airplane will include a reserve-hybrid configuration, consisting of two turbo generators powered by sustainable aviation fuel.

“The Heart ES-30 is what we have been looking for. A sustainable electric aircraft with a reserve-hybrid solution that enables it to have a meaningful range and payload for the commercial airline market, and which can be available in a not-too-distant future”, said Niklas Lund, CEO of Rockton.
