MOMO-C on german TV!
Electric flight is moving from concept to reality, and people are starting to notice.
Yesterday, the MOMO-C (Mobile Modular Charger) project was featured on WDR Lokalzeit Münsterland, highlighting how cross-border collaboration is driving the future of electric aviation. What was once a technical vision is now becoming a visible, real-world innovation story.
Powering Aircraft Wherever They Land
The core idea behind MOMO-C is simple, yet transformative: What if electric aircraft could be charged anywhere?
Instead of relying solely on fixed charging infrastructure at major airports, MOMO-C is developing a mobile, modular charging system capable of powering large-scale electrified aircraft applications. This flexibility could significantly accelerate the adoption of electric aviation — especially in regional and decentralized air mobility scenarios. The project is led by Fraunhofer FFB and unites strong partners from Germany and the Netherlands:
- SEINE Batteriesysteme
- NRG2fly
- University of Twente
- Universität Münster
- Münster/Osnabrück Airport (FMO)
- Twente Airport
Together, they are building a real-world demonstrator that shows how research excellence and industrial expertise can come together to create scalable, future-ready solutions.
Cross-Border Innovation in Action
MOMO-C is a powerful example of what happens when ecosystems collaborate across borders. Universities, research institutes, airports, and technology companies are combining their strengths to accelerate sustainable aviation. This cross-border dynamic between Germany and the Netherlands proves that innovation thrives when networks are open, connected, and ambitious.
More Than Technology: Shaping a Livable Future
And looking at the reason behind the MOMO-C project, is about more than charging systems and aircraft. It raises a much bigger question: How can we use future tech innovations to improve our world, making it more sustainable and more livable?
Electric aviation, advanced battery systems, hydrogen technologies, robotics, and medical innovations all share one common goal: enabling progress while reducing environmental impact and improving quality of life. Future tech is not just about pushing boundaries, it is about responsibility. It is about designing solutions that reduce emissions, strengthen regional ecosystems, and create new opportunities for mobility and economic resilience.
