New aircraft are expected to enter service by 2028.
When operated on battery power alone, the aircraft has zero emissions and can deliver a 50 percent reduction in emissions per seat compared to fossil fuel-powered turboprops. The company is also working on using sustainable aviation fuel in the reserve-hybrid turbogenerators, which could lead to up to 90 percent reduction in emissions.
The electric motors on the aircraft also promise low noise during take-offs and landings, while the 30-minute fast charge of the battery pack makes the operation of the aircraft hassle-free. Heart Aerospace is also promising better profitability for airlines since the maintenance of electric motors is comparatively cheaper, and electricity generated using renewable sources is expected to be cheaper in the future, as against fossil fuel prices that skyrocketed in the recent past.Air Canada's agreement also goes beyond the purchase of the aircraft as it has also gained a US$5 million equity stake in Heart Aerospace.
Both the ES-19 and the ES-30 are currently under development and are expected to be rolled out in 2026 and 2028. The two aircraft will also allow airlines to begin reducing their carbon emissions at least on regional routes before the end of the decade.
