Aside from zero emission flights,the benefits to the operator include significantly lower adoption costs, energycosts and maintenance costs.This plan will connect with a longer term vision to develop a completely newregional aircraft. Experience gained with our retrofit business will augment the power of Distributed Electric Propulsion and an optimized aerodynamic integrated design (with initial concept design work already completed by Dante).Dovetail's headquarters and Directors are based in Australia, but with key personnel, customers and R&D also undertaken in Europe this opportunity will well and truly have global appeal.
