On June 24, Sirius Aviation AG (Zurich, Switzerland) unveiled two hydrogen-powered luxury business jets, the Sirius CEO-Jet and the Sirius Adventure Jet. Developed in collaboration with BMW Group Designworks (Munich, Germany), these aircraft aim to transform private air travel with eco-friendly alternatives, substantially reducing CO2 emissions. While materials haven’t been confirmed, it is likely fiber-reinforced composite materials play a role in these aircraft structures, as they do for the Sirius Jet hydrogen-powered vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft.
“The CEO-Jet offers an eco-friendly option for business travel, while the Adventure Jet opens new horizons for global tourism and exploration,” says Alexey Popov, Sirius Aviation AG CEO.
Combining sustainable business aviation with modern luxury, the hydrogen-powered CEO-Jet uses a hydrogen-electric powertrain for zero carbon emissions. It cruises at speeds up to 323 knots, has a range of up to 1,150 miles and seats three passengers. The interior offers extensive customization options such as colors, upholstery, amenities and bespoke bathrooms, catering to discerning travelers.
The Adventure Jet is designed for leisure and adventurous pursuits, also featuring a hydrogen-electric powertrain for sustainable travel. It has a range of up to 1,150 miles, speeds reaching 323 knots and accommodates five passengers. With an exploration-ready design, it reportedly provides seamless access to uncharted territories and offers customizable interiors.
