About us

VÆRIDION is a fast-growing deep tech start-up based in Munich, Germany. Since restrictions by law on CO2 emissions for domestic and short-haul air travel will stimulate Green Regional Air Mobility, we believe it\'s our mission to provide an aircraft for Zero emission regional flights. Our goal is to develop, build and certify a full electric microliner carrying up to 9 passengers for Short-Haul and Regional Air Mobility by 2030. A full electric microliner is cleaner and cheaper to operate than other aeroplanes in its class, providing a better travel experience door to door up to 500 km. We offer a new optimized design based on proven principles, around proven and available technology in electric motors and batteries, that brings lowest risk and shortest route to certification.
