    For some reason this Hybrid system makes so much sense when it comes to next gen aircraft design. Especially for these STOL remote airports. And since there is no good replacements for the Dash 8-100 and 200 series or Dash 7. Only competitor would be Dornier with their 328Eco which is coming up but isnt a Hybrid though.

    I think it’s a winning 🥇 idea and concept. I especially like the hybrid approach rather than a full EV. That will enable Heart to sell the aircraft to airlines that may not yet have the electrical infrastructure needed in their airport to support it.
    I see they also said that this demonstrator unit has allowed them to work through some design issues and the final model will be extended. It sounds to me like they have a way to go, and they know it. I wish Heart ❤️ good luck for their first flight next year. Then it won’t be long until full certification after that hopefully 🙏. I hope they have their assembly line plant underway.
    As for disability access and support. I know some airports here in New Zealand have constructed ramps that allow wheelchair passengers the ability to board turboprop aircraft (ATR 72 and Dash 8) unaided or with assistance upon request.

      I was thinking about this, but I believe they're on the right track in simplicity and weight reduction with a modular concept.
      From what I'm seeing, they could be isolating the fuel and turbines to the outboard wing sections, no need to run large gauge electric wires, fuel lines (systems), hydraulic lines and of course the heafty bleed systems throughout the entire aircraft. This aircraft, at its heart, is all electric. Keeping the HV cable runs minimal to the onboard sections while completely isolating the hybrid components to the outboard sections as stand alone backup propulsion.

    It looks a lot like a Dornier 328. I was part of the initial Sales/Marketing team for both the SF-340 and Dornier 328. There is not much actual data or numbers I could find on this aircraft. The usual issue with electric aircraft is the weight of the batteries. A new 9 seat electric aircraft that has about 8,000lb of batteries would need 40,000lb to compete with an all turbine machine payload/range. It amazes me that people think it is zero emissions since for every 1,000 lb of a lithium battery requires moving and refining 500,000 lb of ore which requires a great deal of fossil fuel. The anti-ice/deice will require power. What is the procedure for critical the engine on take-off? Will this be the same battery in the exploding EV's, (certification)? I wish them well but the only way I think it would work is if the European Governments legislates Hybrid aircraft by a certain date. We see how well that is working in Europe.

    I wonder why the choice of putting the standard, jet-fuel engines on the outboard position. Conceivably, fuel-burning engines are not as reliable as electric motors, so the more probable chance of a fueled engine failure event would be less critical if the failed engine was on a more inboard position.

      @ Combustion, fossil fuel engines produce heat, electricity and mechanical movement in various stages of the process to ignition and movement such of the shaft or gears.
      There’s already widely used and well understood ways of using the movement of gears to produce electricity through electrical converter either in between the engine and gear box or as a unit that functions as a gear box and converter of the mechanical force into electricity by the rotary motion.
      Well used principle in turbo fan engines for the continuous combustion process in the core of the engine.
      Also well used in the maritime industry by use of parallel hybrid systems for diesel engines.
      Also there’s new turbo fan engine research and prototyping of where the core instead of using combustion uses electric gear boxes what get their power from the combustion process of the aircraft APU and uses that to start the engines.
      Once these eletric geared turbo fan engines start running they heat with the friction of air going through the core to drive a internal turbine that accelerates the fan movement and functions the same way as a common start up process for a any other turbo fan.
      Much less fuel used while taxing or idle and the efficiency gains of having electricity for gears means that more fuel is conserved.
      It’s a easy way to lower emissions, cost, maintenance and overall weight by only requiring batteries for auxiliary systems or additional direct instantaneous boost to the gears in the core.
      Right now batteries are simply not good enough for weight restricted applications and hydrogen carries the same problems as batteries in weight and size while not being widely available enough or cheap enough.
      that’s without considering that hydrogen comes from mostly fossil fuels and green hydrogen infrastructure and supply chain has had little development in the last 15 years since it became a serious topic of discussion.
      It would be great to have all electric aircrafts by now but battery technologies so far have not developed enough to gain a meaningful development for industrial applications in large scale and hydrogen is practically a joke by how little has been done for R&D and industrial planning of green hydrogen.

      @ The problem with that is that new efficient turbo fan engines weight anywhere from 2 to 6 tons each.
      even the smallest engine for turbo prop doesn’t weight less than 1 ton, with the added complication of less power and higher noise of operation.
      The batteries require extra structural reinforcement (more weight and less space) and additional space for the batteries that are also fire risk for the people in the cabin since it’s often sharing the same space inside the fuselage as passengers.
      The added efficiency of having the batteries does not out perform the added cost in expensive batteries, less space for passengers, added maintenance for the batteries that last less than the engines themselves.
      Simply not good enough or practical enough for all the people who have to take care of operations in the airports and the owners who need to spent even more time taking care of structural stress from battery weight and increasing degradation making the aircraft less and less efficient.
      Simply modernising engines to take advantage of new material science and electronic hardware is far more practical, efficient and safer than just adding batteries for the sake of it.
      Batteries are great, now the technology has evolved enough that batteries can easily and safely be used as generators for when that extra electricity is used but batteries are not good enough currently to be used as a primary source of continuous energy in high energy demand capacities.
      Batteries work great in cars or keeping the lights on in a storm but they do at a relative low voltage.
      High voltage, energy intensive applications such as moving a turbo fan, propeller or 1 ton shafts are simply too much for batteries that are not made to the size of a house.
      small batteries are not good enough for high continuous voltages and big batteries that are good enough for high continuous voltages aren’t suitable for weight and size constricted applications (specially not when paired with other already sizeable and weighty mechanical systems)

    It's very cool they are making their own but why not a single piece carbon fiber fuselage construction with no frames or stringers, just a shell. And make it teardrop instead of straight cylinder body for aerodynamics and rigidity as just a shell. Low wing for short simple landing gear, no massive belly or wing fairing like they have here because they just copied an ATR42.
    It should be plenty possible to have 400km battery range, they really should emphasize pure battery operation and if they must they can have a small turbine generator as range extender. The end of the aircraft might be an obvious place for it. Just enough power for cruise flight or even a tiny bit below cruise power. Just a 2mm carbon fiber shell can hold 10 bar pressure and weigh around 600kg. Without frames etc you don't waste a lot of cross section so it can be thinner for the same cabin size. Lighter more aerodynamic really matters for efficiency. Optimization is king. You could even skip windows and use digital windows. As a battery plane a big part of its mass should be battery. Not a conventional old heavy plane with a touch of batteries. I wouldn't be surprised if 1000km range was possible with today's batteries. Optimization is really really important for all aspects.

    Electric planes, even hybrids, are absolutely pointless - the additional weight of the batteries alone will severely interfere with the planes performance. That's not even considering the added drag from the additional traditional outboard engines. Then consider how unstable lithium ion batteries are.

      @@mrbushpilot You have to leave 20% charge at end of each flight . At 5 cycles of recharge per day they will last 400 days, less if you use that reserve .
      The heaviness is a major problem because the same energy from fuel is much much lighter.
      Because of aerodynamic theory , extra weight increases drag from lift.

    It's like a microwave oven or an air fryer. Great at doing one particular job but cannot compete with the 'one size fits all' gas oven which people who can only afford one appliance will buy. It has taken decades to design the most efficient way of moving hundreds of people thousands of miles - by using fossil fuels. Even with modern technology it is going to prove impossible to replace such proven technologies in just a few short years. The physics of energy density mean that batteries will never be as efficient as fossil fuels. We don't know what future discoveries and inventions will bring but for now these aircraft are a poor compromise over what is possible. Only politics and climate alarmism are providing the incentive to make these craft: both of which are surrounded by much skepticism..
