AMSL Aero eyes zero-emission aircraft hub in PH

State-run Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) teamed up with Australian zero-emissions aircraft manufacturer AMSL Aero Thursday to explore establishing a zero-emission aircraft industry and boost domestic hydrogen production in the Philippines.

The partnership will also prioritize the development of a robust hydrogen energy infrastructure to support their operation.

BCDA underscored the potential of the project to revolutionize inter-island travel and transport by establishing “air bridges” – passenger and freight routes powered by AMSL Aero’s innovative Vertiia aircraft.

Vertiia is a groundbreaking vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft that combines the versatility of a helicopter with the speed and efficiency of a fixed-wing airplane.

With a range of up to 1,000km and cruising speeds of 300 kilometers per hour, Vertiia offers a cost-effective and environment-friendly solution for transportation needs.

This is AMSL Aero’s second international partnership, following a recent agreement with Life Flight in New Zealand.

The company also has aircraft orders from leading Australian aviation operator Aviation Logistics.
