Heart Aerospace
Heart Aerospace is a Swedish startup company developing electric aircraft.
The company is developing the ES-19, an all-electric, 19-passenger regional airliner. The ES-19 is planned to have a 400 kilometer range and be able to charge in less than 40 minutes. Heart plans to fly the aircraft in 2024 and have it certified by the end of 2026.[1]
In March 2021, Heart signed a letter of interest with Finnair which would allow the airline to purchase up to 20 ES-19 aircraft.[2] In July 2021 United Airlines and Mesa Airlines each announced their intention to purchase 100 ES-19 aircraft.[3]
