Paragon VTOL Aerospace is working on a second-gen version of its nine-seat Soar air taxi design, and it’s settled on hydrogen-burning engines for a powertrain it claims will deliver monster range figures between 300-900 miles (480-1,450 km), depending … Continue reading Paragon looks to hydrogen engines for its ultra-long-range Soar eVTOL
The UK’s Samad Aerospace is making progress with half-scale prototypes of its E-Starling eVTOL aircraft, and has now started taking pre-orders for a smaller cargo drone using a similar design and semi-vectored thrust propulsion system.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Samad makes progress with eVTOL flight tests and a new cargo drone
With its planned SPAC merger just a week away, eVTOL air taxi company Archer has announced a new deal with the US Air Force, a vertiport partnership with Reef, and a preliminary win in its court battle with Wisk over allegedly stolen designs.Continue R… Continue reading Archer announces eVTOL vertiport partnership and a deal with the USAF
In the eVTOL air taxi world, eHang is an outlier. Where most operations are painstakingly doing thousands of unmanned flight tests, eHang is merrily flying people around, including its own CEO and even members of the public – and in autonomous mode, no… Continue reading eHang flexes its fully operational eVTOL production facility in new video
Superyacht designer Steve Kozloff has turned his hand to next-gen aviation with a twin-prop VTOL aircraft that promises a monster 1,380-mile (2,222-km) range, as well as the ability to take off and land conventionally where there’s a runway.Continue Re… Continue reading Pegasus hybrid-electric VTOL promises massive range, no redundancy
An electric propulsion specialist and a supercar designer have partnered up on an eye-catching three-seat eVTOL claiming 250-mph (400 km/h) top speeds and extraordinary 300-mile range figures, as well as some extreme flight dynamics and some nifty idea… Continue reading Urban eVTOL announces Leo, a 250-mph hypercar for the skies
Lilium has become the latest eVTOL manufacturer to announce a significant provisional aircraft sale – this time, a 220-unit, billion-dollar deal with Azul in Brazil, which values the electric seven-seat Lilium Jets at around US$4 million apiece.Continu… Continue reading Lilium touts billion-dollar, 220-unit eVTOL sale to Brazilian airline
Southern California’s PteroDynamics has somehow escaped our attention thus far, but this company’s radically different take on the electric VTOL aircraft is well worth a look, and the company claims this will be the most efficient design by far.Continu… Continue reading Radically different Transwing eVTOL design offers some huge advantages
Joby has flown a new record distance for a full-sized eVTOL aircraft on a single battery charge, covering 154.6 miles (249 km) in a single 77-minute flight, complete with energy-gobbling vertical takeoff and landing phases.Continue ReadingCategory: Air… Continue reading Joby sets new record with 154.6-mile eVTOL flight
Joby Aviation has released new video showing a “complete flight profile” of its eVTOL air taxi, and also announced its plans to create (and profit from) a new carbon credit trading system similar to the one that’s kept Tesla profitable for some time.Co… Continue reading Joby shows complete eVTOL flight video, and clever carbon credit play
