Heart X1 Takes First Flight | Montpelier News
Description
The biggest battery-electric plane ever, the Heart X1, just took flight—soaring 27 minutes on just $5 worth of electricity. Over 100 feet long and climbing to 1,100 feet, it flew from Plattsburgh, chosen for its runway and aerospace ecosystem. This test paves the way for Heart Aerospace’s commercial ES-30, slated for 2031—and already backed by United, Air Canada, and JSX. It’s a major leap toward green skies, proving electric aviation is no longer science fiction.
