Vaeridion and Aero-Dienst electric ambulance
Aero-Dienst and VÆRIDION are collaborateing on a battery-electric eCTOL concept for air ambulance service and aircraft maintenance.

Aero-Dienst is teaming with Munich-based Vaeridion to study an air ambulance version of the latter’s Microliner nine-seat electric-powered aircraft, as well as to develop a maintenance concept for the aircraft’s propulsion system and batteries. Aero-Dienst has an established maintenance network in Germany and Austria,in addition to being a major air ambulance operator.

The Microliner is a relatively conventional high-wing T-tail aircraft design. Its electric power unit comprises two or more battery-driven, isolated electric motors driving a single tractor propeller. The main benefit of this configuration is the robustness of the power unit against motor failures. Vaeridion began functional validation tests of a two-engine system in April, and it is aiming to certify and deliver the aircraft by 2030.
