An aircraft startup backed by the Dutch government will develop a 80-seater hybrid-electric plane amid a wider push in the aviation industry to decarbonize.
Maeve Aerospace BV has begun work on the M80 aircraft that it claims will have an expected range of 1,482 kilometers (800 nautical miles) and “40% higher energy efficiency.” The company plans for the aircraft to enter into service in 2031, it said Monday.
