AURA AERO co-founder and president Jérémy Caussade said: “We are very happy to be able to establish this partnership with Thales since the development of decarbonised aviation is not limited to propulsion systems. It also requires many other innovations including avionics.

“This objective is a first step and I have no doubt that these innovations will find other applications. By combining the best digital technologies with our experience as a manufacturer, we want to pass a new milestone in the energy transition of aviation.”

AURA AERO is the initiator of the Electric Regional Aircraft (ERA) project, Europe’s first 19-seater hybrid-electric propulsion regional transport aircraft.

Under the agreement reached in this regard, the companies will jointly work on the development of a global avionics suite tailored to ERA.
