VoltAero is to work with on-demand charter provider KinectAir to explore possibilities for bringing its hybrid-electric Cassio fixed-wing aircraft into commercial service. U.S.-based KinectAir will explore ways to integrate its planned flight booking app with the Cassio’s cockpit to make it easier to track aircraft availability and utilization.

France-based VoltAero is developing a family of aircraft seating between four and 10 people that will be able to fly up to around 800 miles at speeds of around 200 knots. The aircraft are intended to be able to take off and land with no more than 1,800 feet of runway.
