MGM COMPRO had the honor to be a part of the whole thing. Topics of our presentations were obvious – we believe in electric aviation using our complex propulsion systems in various applications such as e-VTOLs, LSA, drones and others.
Paris’ audience was very welcoming and receptive to messages of us and our partners. It is very interesting to see electric propulsion becoming one of the primary topics of aviation worldwide and this year’s Paris Air Show really proved that.
It was our honor and pleasure to witness this event and we really look forward to next venues.
A couple of days ago, our long-term partners GP GLIDERS announced the arrival of a brand new and also fully electric glider GP 15 JETA with improved, rather racing class parameters. Right now, even in these challenging times, GP GLIDERS celebrate a success with JETA already in the air.
ΦNIX aircraft has always been one of the projects we are most proud to be a part of. That’s why we are delighted to hear that several Swedish investors showed interest in its serial production.
In recent months, our engineers have been working intensively on the development of the first Czech electric utility vehicle – named elZebra – which is being developed by the Zebra Group based in Pardubice, Czech Republic.
