Jekta plans for the regional seaplane to enter service in 2029. The aircraft will be certified to EASA CS-23 and US FAA FAR-23 standards for fixed-wing passenger aircraft. The all-electric 19-seat PHA-ZE 100 amphibious flying boat will be powered by batteries or hydrogen fuel cells, with an initial projected flight endurance of one hour and a 30-minute reserve using batteries. In addition, Jekta and Honeywell will collaborate on discerning the viability of single-pilot operations for commercial flying of the PHA-ZE 100 aircraft. As part of the agreement, Jekta and Honeywell will design and co-develop avionics, electric engines, flight control systems, and connectivity, with the final system architecture and integration to be confirmed by the end of this year.
