Today, Monday July 20th, at the Farnborough International Airshow 2026, Ascendance and ATR officially signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to deepen our collaboration on hybrid-electric propulsion and the future of regional aviation.
Shaping the next chapter of regional aviation takes more than ambition. It takes trusted partners. This milestone represents a powerful step forward in our shared mission to bring high-performance, sustainable propulsion to the skies.
Building the Next Generation of Regional Aircraft
This agreement is a natural evolution of our relationship. Building on our ongoing work under the European Clean Aviation LIME initiative, we are now ready to accelerate our joint efforts.
By combining our team's cutting-edge expertise with ATR's industrial leadership, this new phase will focus on concrete technical milestones:
- Exploring hybrid-electric architectures
- Optimizing aircraft integration and testing activities
This work aims to support the next generation of regional aircraft.
Pragmatic Innovation for a Sustainable Aerospace Industry
By integrating our hybrid-electric propulsion technology with the expertise of the world’s leading regional aircraft manufacturer, we are proving that the future of aviation is being built today through practical, powerful innovations. This collaboration aims to mature key hybrid-electric technologies and support their future integration into next-generation regional aircraft.
Together, we are pioneering the technologies that will shape a more efficient, competitive, and sovereign European aerospace sector.
