Britten-Norman and Cranfield Aerospace Solutions (CAeS) have revealed plans to merge and establish a UK-based original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for zero-emissions aircraft, aiming to commence flights by 2026.

It is expected that by mid-2023, the merger will be concluded. It follows a recent funding round that raised up to £10 million, with HydrogenOne Capital Growth contributing up to £5 million once the merger is complete. Cranfield University and Motus Ventures still retain shares, and Britten-Norman’s current owners, including lead investor Alawi Zawawi, will join the new company.

Both companies previously collaborated on the hydrogen demonstrator Project Fresson, which secured over £14 million in private funding from global investors and backing from the UK government through the UK Aerospace Technology Institute. 

The Islander, Britten-Norman’s nine-seat aircraft, has been used by operators globally for inter-island services and short-hop operations. In contrast, CAeS plans to use the merger to create a new aircraft design that is optimised for hydrogen fuel cell technology. The new company will strive to maintain a fully sustainable supply chain and achieve zero-emissions flight. It most likely will attract investment from both the public and private sectors.
