#5 - Mario Asselin - The AirCraft Company: The principle of electric first
In this episode we speak to Mario Asselin CEO and co-founder of The AirCraft Company, a Kansas-based startup developing a family of hybrid-electric regional aircraft. Co-founding the company alongside his wife Sylvie St-Georges, the pair have 65 years of combined experience in aircraft design including the Bombardier Global 7500 and the Global 8000.
Accessibility is also a key piece of Asselin's vision for his aircraft family, the first member of which will be the SY30J Pangea forecast to enter service in 2029. Each aircraft will be wheelchair accessible, feature a disability friendly WC and have ample seat space to accommodate all.
