Sirius Aviation wins first order for 50 VTOL jets

The Sirius Jet, the world's first hydrogen-powered, zero-emissions, vertical takeoff, and landing (VTOL) aircraft, features a high-speed capability, quieter ducted fan jets, and an innovative hydrogen powertrain. This state-of-the-art jet boasts an exceptional range of 1150 miles– eight times that of traditional eVTOLs, and an impressive speed of 323 mph– three times faster, set to redefine air travel.

Under this milestone deal, MEHAIR will oversee the assembly of 50 Sirius Millennium Jets and 1,400 Millennium Hydrogen Fan Jets, along with integrating 50 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Powertrains and 10 Hydrogen Generation Units in India, marking a new era of zero-carbon aviation. "This strategic alliance with MEHAIR lays the foundation for a greener future in air travel; embodying a commitment to eco-friendly aviation and technological excellence," said Alexey Popov, the CEO of Sirius Aviation AG.

Key initiatives of the partnership entail establishing assembly lines and franchise models for hydrogen VTOL jets, navigating certification processes, and developing green hydrogen infrastructure in India. Additionally, the partnership focuses on designing Verti-ports, providing comprehensive training for fleet operation, and maintenance of Sirius Jet products.

Earlier this year, Sirius Aviation AG unveiled its Hydrogen-Electric Ducted Fan Propulsion System for the Sirius Jet at the Swiss Aeropole in Payerne, in the Canton of Vaud. The event was attended by partners, including BMW Group Designworks, Sauber Group F1, Leonardo Aerostructures, and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI); underscoring the powerful synergy driving the future of aviation.

By 2025, the Sirius Jet will debut in two versions: the Sirius Business Jet, tailored for private use, and the Sirius Millennium Jet, designed for commercial operation.
