British hybrid-electric start-up Faradair Aerospace has attracted a consortium of partners to help it deliver its new Bio Electric Hybrid Aircraft (BEHA).
They include Honeywell, magniX, Cambridge Consultants and Nova Systems.
Faradair will work with Honeywell on the BEHA turbogenerator, comprised of Honeywell’s gas turbine and generator technologies as well as other technologies, including avionics and flight control systems.
The BEHA will use two magni500 e-motors and magniDrive control system technology for flight propulsion.
Cambridge Consultants, a leader in R&D engineering, brings expertise in hybrid propulsion architecture to the development of the BEHA’s hybrid propulsion system, integrating the turbine and flight e-motors.
