Charter operator JetSuite will be the launch customer for Zunum Aero’s 12-seat hybrid-to-electric aircraft, which is slated for delivery in 2022, will have a range of 700 miles, and is expected to reduce community noise levels by 80%. The launch will mark the first step in Zunum’s goal of creating a regional electric air network providing frequent air service to underused regional and general aviation airports. By 2030, the firm, which is backed by Boeing and JetBlue, expects to expand the network with up to 50-seat hybrid-electric aircraft with a range of 1,000 miles.
