The eVTOL age is just a couple of years from dawning. We caught up with Archer’s Director of Business Development, Andrew Cummins, to learn what the first steps will look like when electric air taxis begin taking to the skies in 2024-25.Continue Readin… Continue reading Archer outlines what its early eVTOL air taxi service will look like
H2 Clipper presents a very compelling case to bring back an extremely controversial technology, saying that large electric airships lifted and powered by green hydrogen stand ready to transport massive cargo loads over enormous distances much faster th… Continue reading Zero-emissions hydrogen cargo airship prototype planned for 2025
Walk out into your back yard, jump into a next-generation electric VTOL flying machine, lift off and soar your way to the office helipad: that’s the dream of personal eVTOL ownership, and Jetson co-founder Tomasz Patan has lived it, in a new video.Cont… Continue reading Jetson CEO takes his eVTOL on a commute to work
Shanghai-based eVTOL company Autoflight has been ploughing through flight tests of late as it continues to develop its Prosperity I eVTOL air taxi. The company has now released a largely uncut 8-minute video showing an entire test flight, with sound.Co… Continue reading Autoflight releases full-length eVTOL flight test video
America’s leading eVTOL company has received Part 135 certification from the FAA, so it can now begin offering on-demand commercial air taxi operations. Not with its eVTOL aircraft, mind you – that’s still a long way from being type approved.Continue R… Continue reading Joby receives FAA Air Carrier certification to start air taxi services
Shanghai’s TCab Tech has become one of China’s leading eVTOL contenders, claiming it’s now made many test flights validating its 50-percent scale prototype E20 air taxi design in vertical lift and hover mode, as well as transitions to winged cruise fli… Continue reading China’s TCab E20 eVTOL prototype is making regular transition flights
Norway has a lot of coastline and many fjords, but not much in the way of flat, open ground on which to build runways. That’s where the Elfly project comes in, as it’s developing a short-haul electric seaplane that can take off and land in city harbour… Continue reading Elfly project will link Norwegian cities with electric seaplanes
An interesting intersection between the future and past of human mobility this weekend, as Israeli company Air chose the Kentucky Derby to debut the full-size prototype of its Air One, a two-seat, buy ‘n’ fly personal eVTOL aircraft focused on fun.Cont… Continue reading Full-scale Air One eVTOL prototype unveiled at the Kentucky Derby
With two successful flight tests in the bag, and just under US$2 million in seed funding, Florida company Undefined Technologies has unveiled the next generation of its “silent” commercial drone, which uses ionic propulsion instead of propellers.Contin… Continue reading Undefined’s next-gen “silent” ion propulsion drone: still noisy
Orlando startup JetX is planning a configurable eVTOL “flying car” chassis, and testing a quiet, modular propulsion system that vectors thrust from bladed or bladeless fans without tilting them, opening up some interesting design possibilities.Continue… Continue reading JetX tests non-tilting vectored thrust modules for eVTOL aircraft
