United Airlines Ventures is making an unspecified investment in Heart Aerospace's plans to develop a 19-seat electric regional airliner and says that United partner operator Mesa Airlines will add some to its fleet.

The 19-seat all-electric aircraft is intended for use on routes of up to around 250 miles, with service entry projected for 2026.
