Limosa Enlists BAC Aerospace To Step Up Canadian Certification Process for LimoConnect eVTOL Aircraft
The Montreal-based start-up, which is developing a design for a piloted vehicle that could carry seven passengers up to 150 miles, is looking to select an electric propulsion system supplier.
Limosa has joined forces with BAC Aerospace to begin a campaign leading to type certification from Transport Canada for its planned LimoConnect eight-seat eVTOL aircraft. The Montreal-based start-up is aiming to complete the approval process and launch series production of the aircraft by 2028.
The LimoConnect is being developed for single-pilot operations carrying up to seven passengers in air taxi services, with the option to quickly reconfigure for alternative uses such as emergency medical support or cargo deliveries for flights of up to 150 miles at speeds of 200 mph. Initial design drawings show eight tilting propellers, each with its own electric motor, installed in sets of four on the wing and the extended V-shaped tail section.
