Sirius Aviation has revealed the design for its Sirius Jet, a hydrogen-electric VTOL aircraft it describes as a 'business jet.' The company intends to have the aircraft certified and in service by 2028 and will offer two variants, one tailored for private use and the other for commercial air taxi services.
The private-use Sirius Business Jet will accommodate one pilot and up to three passengers and have an anticipated flight range of 1,150 miles (1,850 kilometers), whereas the larger Sirius Millennium Jet seats up to five passengers and can fly just over half that distance, with a range of 650 miles (1,050 kilometers). Both versions should be able to fly at altitudes of up to 30,000 feet at a cruise speed of 323 mph (520 kph). Refueling the aircraft, which involves pumping the hydrogen fuel cells full of hydrogen gas, will likely cost around $500, according to Sirius.
