Key Takeaways:

VoltAero has chosen Safran Electrical & Power to supply high-voltage electrical wiring for its Cassio 330 hybrid-electric aircraft, making Safran a primary production partner.
Safran will design and produce wiring for the Cassio 330's propulsion and power distribution, capable of handling up to 800V and carrying twice the power of traditional aircraft wiring at the same size.
Safran's role also includes supplying the ENGINeUS 100 electric motor and providing technical support for the aircraft's safety of flight validation.
This agreement is considered a critical step towards the Cassio 330's certification and service entry, leveraging Safran's expertise in high-power electrical systems.
