Drawing inspiration from industries like automotive, space, and defense, Anders explores how companies like Tesla and SpaceX have reinvented how complex vehicles are developed and how Heart Aerospace is applying those same lessons to build the ES-30, a next-generation hybrid-electric regional airliner.
These principles are more than theory, they’re guiding how Heart designs, builds, and scales the future of commercial aviation.
Topics covered:
• Why aviation has fallen behind other industries • What modern product development looks like • How Tesla and SpaceX and others changed the playbook • The five principles Heart is using to reinvent aircraft development • What this means for the future of flight

We can now test, learn and identify areas of improvement very early in the development of our aircraft!Happy Holidays from Heart Aerospace, 2021Heart Aerospace2021-12-21 | ...First subscale test flight for Heart ES-19Heart Aerospace2021-12-20 | December 17th 2021 marked another milestone in the development of pioneer electric aircraft Heart ES-19. For the first time, our scale model of the plane took flight at the Heart Aerospace HQ’s at Säve Airport in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The test flight took four and a half minutes. The aircraft flew with an average speed of 125 km/h (77mph/68 kn) and a maximum speed of 150 km/h (93 mph/ 80 kn). The take off and landing speed was 85 km/h (53mph/45 kn). With a wingspan of 4.6m, the Heart ES-19 model aircraft is built in scale 1:5 according to the exact dimensions of the full-scale ES-19 aircraft. However the manufacturing materials are different: Whereas the full-scale ES-19 will be made primarily from aluminum, the subscale model was constructed from a mix of carbon fiber and fiberglass composites. The onboard systems, including the electric motors, were entirely off-the-shelf.
This subscale demonstrator was supported by the Swedish Innovation Agency Vinnova, as a part of the research project “Elise" - Electric Aviation in SwedenKris Møll - Why electric aircraft matter to IndonesiaHeart Aerospace2021-09-21 | Kris Møll is a bush pilot, flying small regional aircraft for the operator Susi Air on the island of West Papua, Indonesia.
