Unveiled on Wednesday (Oct 13), the aircraft is designed to carry up to 30 passengers for a range of 500km as a regional transport alternative.

The design boasts a rhombohedral wing share to generate less turbulence as wing extremity to allow for a significant reduction in drag.

Other features include a flexible cabin design, energy recovery landing great, with electric extension/retraction and a stiffer structure to improve efficiency and reduce aircraft mass.
