What Happened

Electric Propulsion Aircraft Design Deemed Feasible By CEO

Vaeridion, a Munich-based startup, has successfully completed the preliminary design review (PDR) for its nine-seat, all-electric Microliner aircraft. According to CEO Markus Kochs-Kamper, the PDR’s outcome supports the company’s technical approach and weight, cost, and safety level estimates. Vaeridion is now moving forward with detailed design and plans to obtain its Design Organization Approval (DOA) from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) within the next 12-18 months. The company aims for the aircraft’s first flight by May 2028 and entry into service in 2030. This development was reported by Aviation Week.
