Aernnova will jointly design and develop Heart Aerospace’s ES-19 electric regional airliner. Swedish start-up Heart selected the aerostructures group as a key program partner to step up its efforts to bring the 19-seater to market in 2026.

Aernnova’s engineering team will work with Heart on the design for the wing, fuselage, and empennage of the ES-19. The aircraft will feature an aluminum airframe with retractable landing gear, a high wing, a T-shaped empennage and a non-cylindrical fuselage that Heart says will maximize space in the cabin.
