Syensqo, an advanced materials company, has been selected by Noemi Aerospace as a materials partner for its all-electric amphibious aircraft. The goal is to develop the world’s first certified all-electric amphibious seaplane.

The aircraft, designed for nine passengers, is intended to be able to operate from both bodies of water and conventional runways. It is being developed for regional passenger transport as well as for cargo, search and rescue operations, and medical evacuation missions. The amphibious capabilities are intended to enable access to routes and communities where conventional aviation infrastructure is only limited.For an electrically powered seaplane that is used under demanding conditions in coastal and marine areas, structural integrity, low weight and durability are of crucial importance. Noemi also took this into account when selecting materials and chose Syensqo’s MTM 45-1 carbon-fiber prepreg for the airframe. In addition, the structural paste adhesive AeroPaste is used for assembling the wings. This is intended to support the development of lightweight, high-performance structures while the aircraft is being prepared for certification.

“We wanted to manufacture the wing skins and spars with a span of 21 meters as a one-piece structure and therefore needed a proven material for out-of-autoclave processing. With Syensqo’s MTM 45-1—a material suitable for primary structures with FAA approval and independently verified NCAMP data—we have a solution that supports our certification approach while also helping us achieve the low structural weight required for our first prototype,” says Simon Bendrey, Chief Engineer at Noemi Aerospace.
