On September 12, 2024, Swedish startup Heart Aerospace held its “Hangar Day” in Gothenburg, Sweden, where it publicly exhibited its new X1 full scale hybrid-electric aircraft demonstrator for the first time.  

This event brought together Heart Aerospace’s partners and investors, as well as media and government representatives (including Sweden’s Minister for Infrastructure, Andreas Carlsson, who addressed the attendees) and served as a forum to present an update on the company’s flagship ES-30 aircraft program. 

This included announcements that the company has filed a patent application for a new nacelle integration design, as well as successfully completing the ground support procedure tests for hybrid-electric aircraft operation. The tests had been conducted jointly with Swedish airport operator Swedavia and regional airline BRA.
