SASMOS HET Technologies and The ePlane Company Sign MOU for e200X eVTOL Systems

SASMOS HET Tech­nolo­gies has signed a Mem­o­ran­dum of Under­stand­ing with The ePlane Com­pa­ny (Ubi­fly Tech­nolo­gies Pri­vate Lim­it­ed) to sup­port Elec­tri­cal Wiring Inter­con­nec­tion Sys­tems (EWIS) devel­op­ment for the e200X elec­tric ver­ti­cal take­off and land­ing (eVTOL) air­craft.

The agree­ment was announced at the Farn­bor­ough Inter­na­tion­al Air­show 2026. Under the MOU, SASMOS will pro­vide EWIS engi­neer­ing and indus­tri­al­i­sa­tion exper­tise for the pro­gramme. The col­lab­o­ra­tion cov­ers har­ness archi­tec­ture, design for man­u­fac­tura­bil­i­ty, pro­to­type eval­u­a­tion and cer­ti­fi­ca­tion readi­ness.

Under the MoU, the com­pa­nies intend to col­lab­o­rate on har­ness archi­tec­ture, EWIS engi­neer­ing, design for man­u­fac­tura­bil­i­ty, pro­to­type eval­u­a­tion and cer­ti­fi­ca­tion readi­ness for the e200X pro­gramme. The col­lab­o­ra­tion also estab­lish­es a frame­work to explore broad­er val­ue-chain oppor­tu­ni­ties across mis­sion-crit­i­cal elec­tri­cal and inter­con­nect sys­tems, sup­port­ing the pro­gram­me’s evo­lu­tion from devel­op­ment through indus­tri­al­i­sa­tion and ser­i­al pro­duc­tion Elec­tri­cal Wiring Inter­con­nec­tion Sys­tems form the crit­i­cal elec­tri­cal net­work of an air­craft, dis­trib­ut­ing pow­er and data between propul­sion, avion­ics, flight con­trols and oth­er onboard sys­tems.

Elec­tri­cal Wiring Inter­con­nec­tion Sys­tems form the net­work that dis­trib­utes pow­er and data between propul­sion, avion­ics, flight con­trols and oth­er onboard sys­tems.

The com­pa­nies also intend to explore broad­er oppor­tu­ni­ties across elec­tri­cal and inter­con­nect sys­tems as the e200X moves from devel­op­ment toward indus­tri­al­i­sa­tion and poten­tial ser­i­al pro­duc­tion. For elec­tric air­craft, opti­mised EWIS archi­tec­ture plays a vital role in reduc­ing weight, improv­ing reli­a­bil­i­ty and sup­port­ing cer­ti­fi­ca­tion.

The e200X is being devel­oped by The ePlane Com­pa­ny as a mod­u­lar plat­form intend­ed for pas­sen­ger trans­port, air ambu­lance and car­go oper­a­tions. The part­ner­ship forms part of the company’s effort to build a sup­pli­er base cov­er­ing elec­tri­cal sys­tems, avion­ics, com­pos­ites, fas­ten­ers and inte­ri­ors.

Chan­drashekar H.G., Chair­man and Man­ag­ing Direc­tor of SASMOS HET Tech­nolo­gies, said the com­pa­ny looks for­ward to con­tribut­ing its EWIS exper­tise to advance the air­craft toward cer­ti­fi­ca­tion. Pro­fes­sor Satya Chakravarthy, Founder and CTO of The ePlane Com­pa­ny, not­ed that select­ing spe­cialised tech­nol­o­gy part­ners is impor­tant for devel­op­ing a cer­ti­fi­able air­craft and that SASMOS strength­ens the programme’s elec­tri­cal sys­tems capa­bil­i­ty.

SASMOS HET Tech­nolo­gies sup­plies EWIS, wiring har­ness­es, cable assem­blies and relat­ed solu­tions for aero­space, defence, space and oth­er sec­tors. The com­pa­ny pro­vides engi­neer­ing, design, man­u­fac­tur­ing, test­ing and indus­tri­al­i­sa­tion ser­vices from its base in India.
