Largest Ever Hybrid-Electric Aircraft Takes Flight – and Airlines Are Already Expressing Interest

This is the largest hybrid-electric aircraft that has ever taken flight – and its developers are already being contacted by airlines from around the world.

Environmentalists have high hopes for the future of air travel after the highest-capacity hybrid-electric aircraft recently took to the skies in California during its first ever test flight.

Earlier this week, engineers, investors and journalists witnessed the hybrid-electric Ampaire 337 took flight above Camarillo Airport.

This is a significant step for aviation because a hybrid-electric aircraft this of this size ever flown before. Ampaire’s 337 is built with a direct path towards commercialization—moving electric aviation firmly from futuristic to attainable.
