Ampaire Gets Firm Order For Hybrid Caravans - AVweb

In line with the above, it would be interesting to know if these are NEW Caravans (produced by Cessna) or conversions of OLD Caravans. Will Cessna certify them? (If not, WHY NOT?)–does CESSNA believe there is a market for this aircraft?

I’d be much more confident if a company like Cessna built and certified them, rather than a development company like Amp-Air.
