Our mission
We use technology to reduce the cost of air travel.

Our mission
Heart Aerospace is a modern aircraft company with a clear mission: to lower the cost of commercial aviation.
Cost is the gateway to progress in aviation. Lower-cost aircraft can make air travel more accessible to consumers, help airlines open and sustain more routes to more communities, and accelerate the global transition to cleaner flight.
We are pursuing that mission through technology: electrification, software, and modern manufacturing. Together, these capabilities enable a new generation of aircraft designed for the efficiency the future of aviation requires.

Three technology levers drive lower costs.
Electrification
Electric propulsion and electrified aircraft systems reduce operating cost through cheaper energy and simplified maintenance.
Software & autonomy
Software-defined aircraft reduce lifecycle cost by improving reliability, streamlining updates, and enabling automation.
Modern manufacturing
A modern manufacturing approach reduces unit cost through a next-gen production system built for scale.
Broken economics are killing short-haul connectivity.
Electric aviation starts with regional travel.
High-demand regional missions are the natural entry point for electric flight, where legacy aircraft economics have left airports and travelers underserved.
Untapped infrastructure
90% of the U.S. population lives within 30 minutes of a regional airport, yet only ~500 of ~5,000 public-use airports have scheduled airline service.

Regional airports already place most Americans within reach of air service, providing broad access.
Unserved travelers
Airlines capture just 1.6% of trips between 50 and 500 miles today, leaving substantial short-haul demand outside of the air travel system.

Millions of short-haul passengers drive very long distances, reflecting demand today's airline networks fail to capture.
Undersupplied routes
Regional flights operate at ~80% load factor, even as short-haul tickets command some of the highest fares per mile in U.S. commercial aviation.

Where regional flights do operate, high load factors and pricey fares show demand exceeds available supply.
Aviation's CO₂ emissions are on track to triple by 2050*
Air travel is remarkable, allowing us to comfortably get anywhere on the planet in less than a day. But as air travel has grown over the past decades, so has its emissions.
Globally, air travel is still only in its infancy. Only 20 percent of the world's population has ever flown on an airplane, meaning there are over 6 billion people worldwide that have never been airborne. As they start to connect to this amazing infrastructure, the emissions will increase exponentially.
