Hybrid Aircraft Market Size Expected To Reach $13.2 Billion By 2030 As Demand Grows For Commercial Applications; @FNMgroup @KULRTech

Palm Beach, FL – April 2, 2024 – FN Media Group News Commentary – According to a report from MarketsAndMarkets projected that the Hybrid Aircraft Market size is estimated to grow from USD 1.2 billion in 2023 to USD 13.2 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 41.6% from 2023 to 2030. It said: “The Hybrid Aircraft Industry is driven by factors such as increasing demand for short haul range connectivity, technological convergence and increasing demand for alternate modes of transportation. Short-haul range connectivity refers to air travel over relatively short distances, typically between nearby cities or regions. These flights are usually within a few hundred to a few thousand kilometers, and they are commonly served by regional airlines or low-cost carriers. Short-haul flights are essential for connecting smaller cities, supporting regional economies, and providing convenient transportation options for travelers. Hybrid aircraft, especially those with electric propulsion systems as primary source, are well-suited for short-haul flights because they can operate with greater fuel efficiency compared to traditional aircraft. Electric propulsion systems have the potential to significantly reduce fuel consumption and operating costs, which is particularly attractive for airlines operating frequent short-haul flights. Short-haul flights, despite their relatively short distances, can collectively contribute to a substantial carbon footprint due to the high number of takeoffs and landings involved. Hybrid aircraft offer the advantage of reduced emissions and lower noise levels, making them more environmentally friendly.

Short-haul flights often operate in and out of airports located in or near urban areas. Hybrid aircraft, particularly those with electric propulsion, produce less noise during takeoff and flight, making them more suitable for operating in noise-sensitive regions. This can lead to reduced community opposition and support for expanding regional flight operations.” Active defense stocks in news today include: KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE: KULR), Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE: JOBY), Lilium N.V. (NASDAQ: LILM), Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE: ACHR), Blade Air Mobility, Inc. (NASDAQ: BLDE).

MarketsAndMarkets continued: “Hybrid-electric aircraft can have faster charging times compared to traditional aircraft refueling processes, which can be advantageous for airlines running frequent short-haul flights. This reduces turnaround times at airports, enabling more efficient flight scheduling and improved utilization of aircraft. Short-haul flights serve regional markets, connecting smaller cities and remote locations that may not have the infrastructure to accommodate large airports. Hybrid aircraft can offer flexible and economically viable solutions for regional air travel, supporting regional connectivity and economic development. High chance of Governments and regulatory bodies prioritizing and supporting the development and adoption of hybrid aircraft for short-haul flights could be seen in upcoming years. They recognize the potential environmental and economic benefits of such hybrid-aircraft in reducing emissions, noise pollution, and enhancing regional connectivity. As hybrid aircraft technology continues to advance, their capabilities, reliability, and performance improve, making them increasingly viable for short-haul operations. Advancements in battery technology, electric motors, and power management systems contribute to the feasibility of electric and hybrid-electric aircraft for regional flights.”

In other defense industry developments of note:

Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) recently successfully completed a Missile Defense Agency (MDA) acquisition milestone for the nation’s modernized long range ballistic missile interceptor. The company completed the first Knowledge Point – known as KP1 – ahead of schedule, taking a major contractual step forward that allows its Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) program to continue development towards the Critical Design Review (CDR).

During KP1, the MDA evaluated Lockheed Martin’s development progress to date. This includes completing design review milestones and demonstrating significant maturation across critical technologies, manufacturing readiness, and utility of the company’s NGI Software Factory. This KP1 achievement follows the program’s All Up Round Preliminary Design Review, which Lockheed Martin executed on-schedule in September.

Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) recently completed tests of several crucial elements of the Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), marking significant progress for the program in its engineering, manufacturing and development phase.

Forward and aft sections of a Sentinel ICBM missile were evaluated through a rigorous test campaign at the company’s Strategic Missile Test and Production Complex in Promontory, Utah. The tests lower risk for the program with important data about the missile’s inflight structural dynamics. Data from the tests help engineering teams mature models, lower risk and ensure flight success.

The shroud fly-off and missile modal tests were part of the company’s engineering, manufacturing, and development (EMD), or design, contract for Sentinel. Northrop Grumman is closely partnered with the Air Force as the EMD phase progresses and key milestones are achieved.

Pratt & Whitney, an RTX Corporation (NYSE: RTX) business, recently received full funding in the recently passed fiscal year 2024 Defense Appropriations bill for its F135 Engine Core Upgrade, which will modernize the F-35’s propulsion system to increase durability and fully-enable Block 4 capabilities and beyond starting in 2029.

“This bill will allow Pratt & Whitney to deliver the current and future propulsion capabilities that will keep the United States and its allies on the cutting edge of fighter engine technology,” said Jill Albertelli, president of Pratt & Whitney Military Engines. “We are incredibly thankful to our congressional allies for their steadfast commitment to supporting these programs.”

General Dynamics Corporation (NYSE: GD) – General Dynamics European Land Systems – Steyr (GDELS) recently announced that it has been awarded a contract to deliver an additional 225 PANDUR 6×6 EVO wheeled armored vehicles to the Austrian Armed Forces.
