Palo Alto’s Archer Aviation might’ve been a fairly late entrant into the emerging eVTOL market, but its brute-force approach to grabbing top talent has made big waves in the industry, and today it becomes the first eVTOL company with a major order on t… Continue reading Archer Aviation takes billion-dollar eVTOL order from United Airlines
eVTOL market leader Joby Aviation has announced its first revenue in a partnership with the US Air Force’s Agility Prime program, as well as the path it’s agreed on with the FAA for certifying its revolutionary tilt-rotor electric air taxi.Continue Rea… Continue reading Joby Aviation agrees on eVTOL certification class with the FAA
Big money has decided electric VTOL air taxis are happening, but in all the excitement around drone-style multirotors, perhaps a gap has been left open for an older, less glamorous, but well-proven type of design to sneak in and scoop the market. I’m s… Continue reading GEM bets US$100 million on Skyworks Aeronautics and its eVTOL gyrodynes
While a multitude of companies are jostling to compete in the emerging electric VTOL air taxi market, it’s very rare to find aircraft designs carrying more than five people. But British multinational giant GKN Aerospace is looking into something much b… Continue reading GKN Aerospace proposes eVTOL Skybus transports for 30 to 50 passengers
Hyundai is serious about its eVTOL air taxi division, and has partnered with the UK Government, the Coventry City Council and Urban Air Port (UAP) to open a dedicated eVTOL and drone launch facility – the “world’s smallest airport,” in England later th… Continue reading Hyundai to build “world’s first” eVTOL airport in Coventry this year
Canada’s Horizon Aircraft has popped up out of stealth mode with an interesting 5-seat hybrid eVTOL design using a wicked-cool split-wing mechanism to transition between VTOL and horizontal flight, and a totally unique path to market.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Horizon presents its long-range Cavorite X5 hybrid eVTOL
UK company Autonomous Flight has been working on eVTOL concepts for some years now, with a full-scale airframe of its two-seat Y6S already built and small-scale prototypes already flight-tested and capable of transitioning from VTOL hover into horizont… Continue reading Autonomous Flight unveils six-seat eVTOL tricopter air shuttle
Palo Alto’s Archer Aviation may be fairly fresh out of the blocks in its tilt at the emerging eVTOL air taxi market, but it’s assembling some heavy hitters in its corner with today’s announcement that it’s partnering with Fiat Chrysler Automotive (FCA)… Continue reading Fiat Chrysler throws its weight behind Archer’s eVTOL project
China’s air mobility company EHang has added another location to its autonomous air taxi roster with the launch of an aerial sightseeing trial in partnership with real estate company Greenland Hong Kong.Continue ReadingCategory: Aircraft, TransportTags… Continue reading EHang begins aerial sightseeing trial at south China real estate project
Switzerland’s Manta Aircraft is working on a flexible hybrid-electric canard aircraft design that will be capable of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) or efficient short take-off and landing (STOL) operations. A one-third scale model has been built,… Continue reading Manta prepares to flight test a neat hybrid eVTOL/eSTOL prototype
