The first flight of #DisruptiveLab, beginning of January 2023, is the realisation of the dream of the team of pioneers who set out to prove that a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions could be possible thanks to a combination of a new vehicle architecture that optimises drag wherever it can and a purpose-built hybrid propulsion system that allows the battery to be recharged in flight.
Today's flight marks the start of a flight test campaign that aims to mature these new technologies for a reduced carbon footprint.
