Technical approach
Battery plus fuel engine
Piston engine powers a generator; electric motors drive propellers; battery charges in flight.
In-flight battery recharge with no ground infrastructure
Fuel engine recharges the battery during cruise; aircraft needs no ground charging infrastructure.
Retrofit of the Cessna Grand Caravan
The AMP-H570 retrofits the proven Cessna 208B, minimizing regulatory risk with a field-tested aircraft.
Scalable to larger aircraft
The hybrid-electric core scales to turboprops and regional aircraft; STCs planned for multiple types.
