BAE Systems (a leading aerospace and defence company) and Heart Aerospace (a Swedish manufacturer of electric aeroplanes) have announced a collaboration to define the battery system for Heart's ES-30 regional electric aeroplane. The companies say the battery will be the first-of-its-kind to be integrated into an electric conventional take-off and landing (eCTOL) regional aircraft, allowing it to 'efficiently operate with zero emissions and low noise'. Ehtisham Siddiqui, BAE Systems's vice president and general manager of controls and avionics solutions, said: "Our industry-leading solution builds on decades of expertise delivering technologies and systems needed to progress sustainable transportation. We are delighted to collaborate with Heart Aerospace on the innovative battery system for its electric aeroplane."
