VoltAero has revealed the final design of its Cassio 330 electric-hybrid aircraft, intended for regional travel.

This updated version is the result of ongoing collaboration with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and follows the company’s certified design process.

The changes were made to simplify the aircraft’s certification and to ensure it meets the latest EASA rules for normal category planes under CS.23 standards.

Jean Botti, VoltAero’s CEO & Chief Technology Officer, during today’s unveiling event at Le Bourget Airport ahead of the Paris Air Show, explained:

“As we take another step toward the Cassio 330’s production, our strategy remains unchanged: using safe and efficient electric-hybrid propulsion and power technologies that are realistically available today, applying them to a conventional takeoff/landing aircraft for sustainable regional transportation using existing airport infrastructure.”
