Elysian and NLR Selected for Dutch Uncrewed Aircraft Technology Project

Elysian Aircraft and the Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre were selected for a project associated with the Dutch Ministry of Defence to develop technologies for future uncrewed aircraft.

Key details

• The project concerns technologies for future uncrewed aircraft.
• Elysian has focused on its E9X, a 90-seat battery-electric passenger aircraft.
• Technology developed for the E9X may apply to future uncrewed aerial vehicles.

Elysian’s E9X is a planned 90-seat battery-electric passenger aircraft.

Why it matters

The selection connects work on Elysian’s passenger-aircraft programme with research into uncrewed aviation. The reported potential for E9X-related technology to transfer to future UAVs links the two areas of development.
