VerdeGo Aero is unveiling the 400-kilowatt VH4-T hybrid-electric turbine propulsion system.

VerdeGo Aero has announced plans for a 400-kilowatt hybrid-electric propulsion system. On Monday, the Florida-based start-up reported it is now making a flightworthy prototype of the VH-4T turbine-based powerplant, having started testing with a full-scale iron bird test rig in late 2023.

The VH-4T is based on VerdeGo Aero’s earlier 185-kilowatt VH-3 hybrid-electric propulsion system. It is being developed with support from the U.S. Air Force Small Business Innovation Research Phase II contract as part of the Afwerx program.
