Heart Aerospace is developing the 30-passenger ES-30 hybrid-electric regional airliner.

Heart Aerospace is opening a research and development hub in the U.S. as it steps up work on its 30-seat hybrid-electric regional airliner. Announcing the move this week, the Sweden-based company said the new facility will support the ES-30 program as it starts a new phase of hardware testing.

The hub in Los Angeles will focus mainly on the aircraft's hybrid-electric propulsion system. Heart will move its full-scale demonstrator aircraft to the U.S.
