https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://theaircurrent.com/regulation/faa-powered-lift-safety-continuum-easa-evtol-certification/

The first full piloted transition #flight of any powered-lift #aircraft is a monumental achievement, and it was a pleasure catching up with Simon Davies to learn how UK-based #eVTOL developer #VerticalAerospace pulled it off. The milestone is especially significant for Vertical, which has had more to prove than its better-funded rivals and has long shaped its business strategy around the goal of demonstrating a piloted transition — not always to its benefit. https://theaircurrent.com/aircraft-development/vertical-aerospace-piloted-evtol-transition-flight-milestone/

Vertical Aerospace’s piloted transition flight is a technical and business milestone

Check out #Valo, the new #eVTOL model revealed today by UK-based #VerticalAerospace. I wrote about the significance of the unveiling for the company earlier this week: https://theaircurrent.com/industry-strategy/vertical-aerospace-stock-market-evtol-fundraising/

Everyone loves an underdog… until it’s time to invest in one. As #VerticalAerospace prepares to unveil its new #eVTOL design this week, I wrote about the company’s complicated relationship with the stock market and how its weak balance sheet has been a drag on both its share price and fundraising. #aviation #electricaviation https://theaircurrent.com/industry-strategy/vertical-aerospace-stock-market-evtol-fundraising/
