MDA1
All Electric Commuter Aircraft
The MDA1 (Illustrations show an older stage of development) enables Regional Air Mobility (RAM) to be operated fully electrically, economically and above all in a CO2-neutral manner!
The MDA1 is planned as an aircraft with a CO2 neutral propulsion system, aimed at the short-haul flights in challenging environments.
Especially coastal regions offer ample supply of fuel – sun and wind.
OUR mission
Our core competence is lightweight construction.
Our passion is aeronautical engineering.
Our mission is to be the first to introduce economical CO₂ neutral aviation to the market.
In doing so we are both contributing to the necessary decarbonisation of the transport sector and investing in sustainable technologies.
THE project
The MDA1 designed as a battery electric aircraft for up to nine passengers plus pilot.
Using state of the art batteries the endurance will be roughly 400 kilometres.
All components are readily available and EASA certifiable.
In contrast to most E aviation project this is our unique selling proposition.
"We are on the fast track to Innovation." (Tim Markwald, CEO)
With statutory regulations from 2040 onwards already in place in Scandinavian countries and Canada we believe that this will be a global case for CO₂ neutral aviation.
With the ability to cater for short and medium distances the MDA1 is targeting the RAM (Regional Aircraft Mobility) market. Examples are island hopping, coastal operations and general aviation operations from short or unpaved runways.
The MDA1 is a highly versatile aircraft for the transport of passengers, goods, and for surveillance missions.

We are testing the aircraft in the typically rough meteorological conditions of the North Sea in the north-western part of Germany.
Our motivation is the CO₂ neutral transport of both passengers and cargo in environmentally protected and sensitive regions of the world.
Our Vision is CO₂ neutral and silent operation and to also utilize innovative CO₂ neutral techniques during the production of the aircraft.
THE aircraft*
The MDA1 (*Illustrations show an older stage of development) makes no compromises – aerodynamics and lightweight construction are optimes for the battery electric propulsion system.
In a first development step batteries mounted in quick-change modules will be employed.
With the current battery technology on the market a range of 400 kilometres is achievable, but future battery improvements can be expected. The current range is suitable to serve a connects with in the Regional Air Mobility (RAM) framework.
The MDA1 has a capacity for up to 10 passengers or 3 IBC containers. A quick conversion from passenger to cargo is possible.
In further expansion stages, the use of more powerful rechargeable batteries or fuel cell variants is planned.
Capacity
Advantages of the MDA1 battery
- Interchangeable for faster turnaround times
- Mounted in the engine nacelles
- Easy access
- Increased safety in case of battery failure
Future propulsion options
It is envisaged to fit tanks for hydrogen or sustainable E-Fuels.
The first step, however, is the battery electric power plant as all components are readily available on the market and easily certifiable for aviation use.

E-Fuels
Fields of application
The change to green, renewable energy, opens up a variety of new fields of application for aircraft with electric propulsion. Scientific applications as well as medevac operation will be edded to Island-hopping and outback operation. The MDA1 with it versatility, low energy costs, and low maintenance cost makes it the ideal platform for scientific research.
Combined transport
- Future transportation will depend more on the combination of different transport methods
- Depending on the distance regional airfields will play an increasing roile in passenger transportation
- Public transport or private vehicles will be used for the travel to and from the airport
- In Germany alone there are roughly 200 airfields which are suitable fort he MDA1.

Models
In the long term, the MDA1 will be the first aircraft in a whole series of models in different segments
Initially, however, we are concentrating on flexible fields of application for the MDA1 for passenger and freight transport, surveillance flights or extensions according to customer requirements

MDA1 SL SHOREliner
The MDA1 SHOREliner takes up to 10 people incl. pilot to coasts, islands or the outback.
MDA1 CL CARGOliner
The MDA1 CARGOliner is optimized for loading and transporting goods and commodities in the volume of 3 IBC containers.
MDA1 SC SCIENCEliner
The MDA1 SCIENCEliner is optimized for surveillance, measurement and counting flights.
MDA1 CUSTOM
Customized equipment of the MDA1 including the necessary certification of structural modifications is possible.
Economic efficiency
The operating costs of the MDA1 are about 40% lower than those of aircraft with combustion engines in this segment (STOL = Short-Take-Off-and-Landing Communter).
THE team
Why we are the right ones for this aircraft?Because it is the right aircraft for us!
We provide the problem solution for RAM - Regional Air Mobility and serve a significant niche in general aviation. Our contribution to the climate and mobility turnaround will be relevant and equally significant. We ensure the modernization of aviation and create value in Germany as a business location with high potential for transformation and best prospects for return on investment.
THE contact
THE proceduce
We will be fast. Because we know what we are doing. And because we exclusively use systems that are already approvable according to today's regulations.
Our first milestone is the development and production of a flying demonstrator. We expect it to take around five years until SOP, including all the necessary regulatory procedures and approvals.
Would you like to accompany us on this journey as an investor in this tech project? Then we should get to know each other.
