Hybrid-Electric Utility Aircraft Gathers Support
A British startup has attracted some heavyweights in the electric aircraft business to create a hybrid-electric utility aircraft that can fill a variety of roles. Faradair Aerospace founder Neil Cloughley says Honeywell, magniX, Cambridge Consultants and Nova Systems have signed on to help develop his Bio Electric Hybrid Aircraft (BEHA). “Their input will enable us to deliver the BEHA prototype by 2024 and subsequent Part 23 certification for operational trials from 2026,” said Cloughley. “Gaining such support validates our business model and capability of the BEHA.”
Cloughley said the first iteration of the aircraft is built around Honeywell’s turbine hybrid electric system, which will run on biofuel. Eventually the plan is for a pure electric aircraft as that technology progresses. Faradair is going to keep the first 300 production aircraft for itself as what it calls the “largest proof-of-concept air mobility program e

UK start-up Faradair Aerospace will shortly begin a two-year engineering effort as it works to integrate a newly selected propulsion system into the first prototype of its BEHA hybrid-electric aircraft.
In addition, the Duxford airfield-based company is continuing its efforts to secure the estimated £1 billion ($1.3 billion) required to bring the BEHA – or Bio Electric Hybrid Aircraft – into production.

BEHA will arrive from 2026
On 17 December Faradair announced it had selected Honeywell to supply the BEHA’s turbogenerator, avionics and flight-control systems, while Magnix is to provide Magni500 electric motors – two for each aircraft – plus control systems.

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.
