Jetcruzer International, based in California, has initiated test flights for the first remanufactured canard-configured Jetcruzer 500 turboprop aircraft with plans to develop a zero-emission hydrogen-electric advanced air mobility derivative. The aircraft, powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6-66B, completed its successful first flight from French Valley Airport, California. The company, which acquired the assets from Advanced Aerodynamics and Structures, Inc. (AASI), is also working on the Jetcruzer 1250E variant featuring twin pusher props fueled by hydrogen-electric fuel-cells. Additionally, Jetcruzer International intends to offer new-build versions of the baseline turboprop-powered Jetcruzer 500. The acquisition of assets from AASI in 2016 by Victor Tao has led to further developments, with plans to electrify one of the acquired fuselages. The company is evaluating electric motor suppliers such as MagniX and ZeroAvia for the integration of the propulsion system for the electric-powered version. The target entry into service for the electric aircraft is set for 2027, following successful testing and integration processes.
