Conscious Aerospace is launching a Series A funding round to advance its plans to convert regional airliners to use its hydrogen-electric propulsion system. Initially, the Dutch start-up’s main focus is on de Havilland Canada’s Dash 8-300 twin turboprop, and it is aiming to have aircraft ready to enter service with early adopter operators by the end of the decade.
This month, new private investors are being asked to provide €15 million (close to $18 million) needed to take the company up to the start of the iron bird test campaign by the end of 2027. Rotterdam-based Conscious is part of a consortium that in June received €73 million from the Dutch government’s Luchtvaart in Transitie green aviation fund, with €42 million from this total going to partners including Aeronamic, Elysian, EH Group, Magna, Senior, Sii, AeroDelft, NLR, and the Technical University of Delft (TU Delft).
