India’s Mehair Adds Sirius Hydrogen VTOL Aircraft to New Fleet Plans
Indian seaplane operator Mehair has confirmed a provisional sales agreement for up to 100 of Sirius Aviation’s in-development hydrogen-powered VTOL aircraft. The deal announced this week covers firm orders for 50 of the aircraft and options for another 50, which Sirius said are collectively worth $400 million (implying a per-aircraft price tag of $4 million).

The company is developing two variants of the hydrogen-electric VTOL design. The private-use Sirius Business Jet will accommodate one pilot and up to three passengers and have an anticipated flight range of 1,150 miles (1,850 kilometers), whereas the larger Sirius Millennium Jet seats up to five passengers and can fly just over half that distance, with a range of 650 miles (1,050 kilometers). Both versions should be able to fly at altitudes of up to 30,000 feet at a cruise speed of 323 mph (520 kph).

According to him, certification costs can be kept to no more than $250 million, based on a projected timeline of no more than 12 months to build the first prototype and another six months for flight testing.https://siriusjet.com/indias-mehair-adds-sirius-hydrogen-vtol-aircraft-to-new-fleet-plans/
