Stellar Jet is a US-based Swiss aerospace manufacturer focused on developing hydrogen-powered vertical‐takeoff‐and‐landing (VTOL) aircraft.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Originally founded as Sirius Aviation AG, the company rebranded to Stellar Aircraft (or Stellar Aviation) and has become known for its concept and development of the Stellar Jet.[7][8]

History

The company was founded by Alexey Popov in 2021 under Sirius Aviation AG. The initial phase mainly focused on R&D and had a team of over 100 engineers.[9]

In February 2024, Stellar Jet partnered with India-based seaplane operator MEHAIR for over 50 jets valued at $400 million.[10][11] In March, Stellar Jet introduced two aircraft with zero emissions,[12] the CEO Jet and Adventure Jet, at the MOVE Expo in London.[13][14][15] In March 2024, the company partnered with PARQ Development for an investment of $50 million to help air travel and tourism in Bali, Indonesia.[16][17][18][19] In August 2024, Stellar Jet partnered with Marathon Group Australia in Sydney to implement zero emission airports.[20][21] In 2025, the company rebranded to Stellar Aircraft and moved its headquarters to Delaware, US.[22]

Fleet

The CEO-Jet is targeted towards leisure and business flights,[23] while the Adventure Jet focuses on adventure-based activities as it can fly over mountains, through jungles, and other regions a typical aircraft may not reach. The jets are co-designed by BMW's Designworks and Sauber Motorsport.[23][24][25]

Aircraft Seats Power Speed Range Capacity
CEO-Jet Up to 3 passengers 28000 N 323 Mph (520 Km/H) 1150 Mi (1850 Km) 1350 lbs (612 Kg)
