Ampaire starts hybrid-electric tests in Utah as part of the eIPP program

On August 6, 2026, Ampaire initiated testing for its hybrid-electric regional aircraft as a key component of the eIPP (Electric Innovation Pathfinder Program). These initial tests are taking place within the state of Utah, representing a significant step forward for the company’s development efforts. The goal is to evaluate the performance and capabilities of their technology under real-world conditions. Ampaire's participation in the eIPP program underscores the growing interest in sustainable aviation solutions. This project aims to demonstrate the viability of electric propulsion systems for short-to-medium range flights.
