« Aviation in the Northern Isles – Past, Present and Future » by Andrew Rae, Professor of Engineering, University of the Highlands and Islands. If you were particularly sharp-eyed earlier this month you will have noticed the words Sustainable Aviation Test Environment (SATE) emblazoned on the Windracers' 'ULTRA' self-flying cargo aircraft featured in one of our posts. We were intrigued to know more. As luck would have it, this brand new article just appeared to provide more background. Professor Rae comes by his passion for aviation honestly. There is a marvellous, sepia-toned photo of his grandfather John Rae, Chief Pilot for Highland Airways, proudly standing by a Highland Airways' de Havilland 'Dragon' pictured at Wideford Aerodrome, Kirkwall in 1935. The article, for this and all sort of reasons, is a very interesting read which you can do using this link. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gqPEtwdM 🏷️ #highlandsandislands #scotland #sustainableaviationtestenvironment 🏞️ 🛩️ ⚡️ 📸 Professor Andrew Rae | UHI

LYGG has signed for up to 200 Ampaire hybrid-electric propulsion units. The rollout will begin by upgrading engines for Cessna Grand Caravans, and expand to larger aircraft across the regional fleet. Ampaire’s AMP Drive™ hybrid-electric powertrain combines a fuel-efficient engine with electric propulsion, optimizing fuel savings and reducing emissions by up to 50 %. Additionally, as the system is fully compatible with SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel), further emission reductions can be achieved. At Ampaire, our mission is to make sustainable aviation accessible and practical for operators today, not in some distant future. This partnership with LYGG allows us to bring our hybrid-electric technology to underserved regions, proving that cleaner, lower cost, more efficient aviation is within reach, starting now. https://lnkd.in/dZSyadpp

With over 30,000 miles flown on hybrid-electric power, Ampaire’s global journey has been more than a technology milestone—it’s been an invaluable learning experience. Each flight reveals lessons in the communities we can serve, the infrastructure that exists for our aircraft, and operations that drive us closer to certifying the first ever commercial hybrid-electric aircraft.

The Los Angeles Business Journal's Take: Ampaire is making significant strides in the future of sustainable aviation with its hybrid-electric powertrains. As CEO Kevin Noertker states, 'We are seeking to be the company that powers everything that can fly with a hybrid-electric powertrain.' With a growing fleet of hybrid-electric aircraft already flying today, Ampaire is showcasing the practical benefits of reduced emissions and enhanced fuel efficiency that could redefine how we connect across distances. #HybridElectric #SustainableAviation #LeadingtheCharge Read our feature out now! https://lnkd.in/eGi45qJv

At Ampaire, we believe in the power of quick iterations, constantly improving our technology to meet the challenges of aviation. The second generation of the AMP H570 powertrain brings us closer to certification with a direct drive motor and more efficient, higher-power electronics. The lessons learned from flight testing our Gen 1 system have directly shaped the advancements in Gen 2, focusing on better performance, streamlined integration, and readiness for certification. #EcoCaravan #ElectricAviation #LeadingtheCharge
