Maeve Aerospace unveils 80-seat sustainable aircraft
The Dutch manufacturer Maeve Aerospace is developing the M80, a hybrid-electric airplane with 800 NM (1482 km) of range and the capacity to carry 80 passengers. It boasts a 40% increase in energy efficiency without impacting infrastructure. Maeve has fine-tuned the aircraft concept to achieve the optimal balance of passenger capacity, range, delivery timeline, and required energy for implementation.
The M80 is a cleanly designed aircraft with a recently integrated hybrid propulsion system that reduces mission energy and fuel consumption. This makes the new Maeve model the perfect replacement for both regional jets and turboprops.
Martin Nuesseler, CTO of Maeve Aerospace, expressed: «To my knowledge, there are currently no development alternatives that are equally sustainable, cost-effective, and tailored to the operational needs of airlines and airports. If there are, I would applaud them because we need more of these realistic solutions to be sustainable.»
New Facilities in Germany
The company will establish a new headquarters in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, which will join the central headquarters for the development of sustainable aircraft. This new location arises from the necessity to enhance its infrastructure for better research development and execution of new projects. These experts will operate from Maeve’s new headquarters at the Oberpfaffenhofen airport.
