Back to the future of aviation charging with Jurjen de Jong

Jurjen de Jong is an absolute charging pioneer - he founded the GreenFlux EV charging company in 2008 - this is 12 years before the Model Y, and 3 years before even the Nissan Leaf. As such, the decisions they made led to standards that are still in place - the Type 2 AC charging connector for instance. And there was no integration standard, so they had to develop OCPP, now the global standard. While OCPP started in EU, it was picked up by California early and eventually the USA, Canada, even China. It was super eye opening for me to talk to someone who was there. We talk through the differences and the similarities between aviation and automotive charging, and even talk standards, debating CSS and GEACS, and which missions each is best suited for.

#1 in electric aviation: E-Flight Academy's Matthijs Collard

Matthijs Collard is the co-founder and responsible manager for E-Flight Academy - a modern pilot training company in Teuge Netherlands. They fly 90% of the hours towards a Private Pilots License in electric aircraft, the Pipistrel Velis Electro. They hold several records on SkyZero.io [http://SkyZero.io] - including most flight hours for a single electric aircraft (beating Joby and BETA), and also for the most electric aircraft movements at any single airport, EHTE. We interview him about what it was like building a flight curriculum around electric aircraft, the solar mini-grid they installed, and how they got started. Corrections from this interview! I state incorrectly that: 1) the H55 Bristell Energic is certified in EU and with the FAA. It is not, yet, these certifications are expected in 2026 and 2027 respectively. 2) the Velis Electro is "certified" - there is an FAA exemption for all operators of the Velis Electro under the Light Sport Aircraft category for training, it is not yet type certified in the USA. It is type certified in Canada. https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2024/march/07/faa-grants-exemption-for-velis-electro [https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2024/march/07/faa-grants-exemption-for-velis-electro] https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/futureflight/2025-11-16/transport-canada-certifies-three-pipistrel-light-aircraft [https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/futureflight/2025-11-16/transport-canada-certifies-three-pipistrel-light-aircraft]

episode How to make a hybrid electric regional aircraft fly artwork

How to make a hybrid electric regional aircraft fly

Ben Stabler, the CTO at Heart Aerospace, talks to us about their ES-30 aircraft - a 30 seat independent hybrid regional airliner. In fully electric mode it can fly 200km carrying 30 people - with its turboprop turbines engaged, it can travel 800 km carrying 25 people. It replaces the ES-19 - a fully electric 19 seater - and we talk to Ben about the change, how the new aircraft works, how they predict the market will make use of this aircraft, and the future of aviation. Ben's a thoughtful, intelligent engineering leader, and he really talked openly about the challenges and what Heart Aerospace is trying to do.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
