ES-30

In Development

Overview

A 30-seat clean-sheet hybrid-electric regional aircraft built around Heart's Reserve Hybrid architecture for short-haul routes. Heart is positioning the ES-30 around lower operating cost, lower noise, shorter-runway access, and zero-CO2 operations on short segments.

Heart unveiled the full-scale X1 demonstrator in 2024 and has shifted to an iterative X1/X2 development path with more in-house technology integration. The X2 prototype is intended to mature the hybrid-electric architecture ahead of a 2029 certification target.
