Overview
Swedish electric aircraft manufacturer founded in 2018 in Gothenburg, developing the ES-30 — a 30-seat battery-electric regional airplane. Heart Aerospace completed the first flight of its X1 demonstrator on August 12, 2026 at Plattsburgh International Airport, making it the world's largest battery-electric aircraft to fly.
The ES-30 offers zero CO2 emissions on all-electric routes with a fundamentally lower-cost operating model. Backed by top venture investors (Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital, EQT Ventures, Y Combinator, Norrsken, European Innovation Council) and strategic investors (United Airlines, Air Canada, Saab).
