Key details

• The proposed Belyn 100HF pairs a conventional engine with electric assistance and targets long-distance flights.
• The proposed Belyn 100HP would use an engine to generate electricity for electric propulsion.
• Beijing Airlink is pursuing aircraft in 10-seat and 50-seat categories.

Why it matters

The two concepts use different hybrid arrangements: the 100HF combines engine power with electric assistance, while the 100HP proposes electric propulsion powered by a generator. Beijing Airlink also plans to refine configurations and key technologies and consult prospective operators and suppliers.
