Maeve Aerospace introduces sustainable 80-seater jet; Know more

Delft-based Maeve Aerospace, an innovator in the development of sustainable and economic aircraft design, unveils an 80-seater hybrid-electric aircraft, signalling expansion to Oberpfaffenhofen Airport in Munich for accelerated development on the programme.

The innovative design aims to revolutionise regional aviation with decarbonisation, low-energy solution with regional jet performance and turbo-prop economics.

“Game-changing combination”

Maeve Aerospace addresses the decarbonisation challenge in aviation with the M80, a hybrid-electric aircraft boasting an 800 NM (1482 km) range, 40 per cent higher energy efficiency, and zero infrastructure impact. 

Optimised for “best-in-class” specifications in passenger capacity, range, lead time, and energy implementation, the M80 offers a blend of jet performance and turboprop efficiency. 

With a clean sheet design and integrated hybrid propulsion system, it serves as a replacement for both regional jets and turboprops, minimising mission energy and fuel consumption.

Martin Nuesseler, CTO of Maeve Aerospace says, “To my knowledge, there are currently no alternatives in development that are equally sustainable, cost-effective, and match the operational needs of airlines and airports. If there are, I would applaud them, because we need more of these realistic solutions to become sustainable.”

Brief about Maeve

Founded in 2021, Maeve Aerospace claims to be a European leader in sustainable and economical aircraft design. 

With a mission to reduce over 50 MT of CO2 by 2040, Maeve aims to launch a globally competitive aircraft family with energy efficiency and compatibility with existing airport infrastructure. 

Maeve receives support from private investors, the Government of the Netherlands, and the European Investment Council (EIC).
