Raytheon Technologies is the lead investor in a $12 million Series A funding round for hybrid-electric propulsion specialist VerdeGo Aero. The U.S. group’s venture capital arm, RTX Ventures, announced the investment this week, saying the Florida-based start-up will collaborate with its aircraft engines subsidiary Pratt & Whitney to develop propulsion systems for advanced air mobility (AAM) applications.
NOW WE'RE TALKING POWER, THRUST YOU CAN TRUST P&W BABY !
Last year, VerdeGo Aero introduced its 185-kW VH-3 generator, which can be combined with various hybrid-electric configurations to deliver peak-burst power of up to 1MW and continuous power of up to 370 kW. The company’s propulsion systems have been selected for applications including Airflow’s eSTOL aircraft, Jaunt Air Mobility’s Journey eVTOL vehicle, and XTI’s TriFan 600.
