Green Aerospace plans to produce the most profitable regional jet ever and transform the future of regional travel with innovative hybrid-electric flight.
Maya HTT and Siemens are helping them do it.
“Green Aerospace is revolutionizing regional aviation with a next-generation aircraft,” said Dave Green, CEO of Green Aerospace. “We wouldn’t be able to do this without Siemens and Maya HTT.”
The challenge: aircraft supply issues
Almost half of the existing regional aircraft in the United States, about 1,600 aircraft, will be approaching retirement in the decade. There is a huge supply issue that is fast approaching and needs to be addressed.
The only existing manufacturer produces 25 to 35 airplanes per year, so if you want to buy a new regional jet today, there is a five-to-six-year wait.
Green Aerospace plans to fill that supply gap with their GR70 jet, designed with 70 seats, hybrid electric propulsion and a 1,000-nautical-mile range.
The solution: simulation software
Using NX and Simcenter, and working with Maya HTT, Green Aerospace created a clean sheet aircraft conceptual design in eight months for just $50,000.
“Maya HTT not only saved us time but helped us through roadblocks,” said Dave Green, CEO of Green Aerospace. “I’ve had people sell me software before, but what Maya HTT did was first understand the problem we wanted to address, then sold me the solution to that.”
Green notes that the added complexity of building a hybrid electric aircraft made this assistance even more important.

The results: a competitive edge
Having reduced their simulation cost by 75 percent, Green Aerospace is well positioned to compete with large, established OEMs.
