The perfect fit
Regional air cargo is an ideal fit for early-generation electric aircraft due to the short distances of routes served. We ran an R&D study to investigate the opportunity, resulting in a concept aircraft called the MP-1 Cargo.
The MP-1 Cargo was developed with input from several key air cargo stakeholders. Our white paper provides a detailed exploration of the MP-1's design, operating economics, along with key challenges and recommendations.
The paper is written for manufacturers, policymakers, researchers, and other enthusiasts of electric aviation. We have decided to openly share what we have learned to inspire further improvements and actions building from this work. Our goal is to help electrified aircraft play a pivotal role in the future of aviation – and we believe that, with the right regulatory support, aircraft like the MP-1 will play an important role in this future.
