Its my understanding the 2 seat prototype uses a small conventional APU to provide normal flight electrical power. I believe the onboard batteries are enough to start APU, run things static, and provide enough power for an emergency landing. The 9 pax production version will have a Safran purpose-built "turbo-generator" with dual generators and most likely will burn SAF type fuel.
They are also pursuing Part 23 certification vs the current Part 21 exemption certification route as the eVTOLs are using which should make things much simpler and probably the reason for the influx of orders.
