ZURI have achieved a true milestone in developing their hybrid VTOL aircraft. Following several ground performance tests, the ZURI team carried out the first hover test on 15th September 2021 at an airport near Zbraslavice.

The large-scale technological demonstrator with an 11m wingspan took off the ground and achieved its first hover flight. This test was significant as the team had the opportunity to measure many parameters that could not be obtained during ground performance tests.
