The AirCraft Company, a new start-up based in Wichita, Kansas, has revealed its plans to produce a hybrid-electric, 30-seat regional airliner. Called the Pangea SY30J, this new aircraft is projected to enter service in 2029. It will be the first in a family of hybrid-electric Pangea airplanes designed to connect small communities that are underserved by commercial aviation and offer more point-to-point travel options—a common theme with new electric and hybrid aircraft.
But one thing that might set The AirCraft Company apart from its competition is its focus on accessibility and comfort. Not only will the cabin be more spacious with larger seats for “real-size” people, but it will also be able to accommodate passengers’ wheelchairs inside the cabin. This is something no other commercial airliner has done, due in part to space constraints and stringent FAA safety regulations.
