Monday, 20 July 2026

AIR, the leading manufacturer and developer of Smart Aircraft, today unveiled the latest version of AIR ONE, its flagship personal electric aircraft, at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. Designed specifically to support piloted flight testing later this year, the updated aircraft introduces a range of enhancements designed to improve performance, manufacturability and the overall pilot experience while advancing AIR's vision for the future of personal flight.

The latest AIR ONE incorporates several key upgrades across the aircraft, including an airframe engineered by EDAG to optimise structural design and manufacturability, custom NIDEC motors delivering refined propulsion performance and reliability, a new aircraft battery, Dynon Avionics' SkyView HDX flight display system, premium seating, an overhead cockpit panel and enhanced cockpit ergonomics designed to create a more intuitive flying experience.

Built on thousands of test flights across previous prototypes, the updated aircraft reflects AIR's continued approach to refining the platform through real-world flight experience and engineering advancements, laying the foundation for this next phase of AIR ONE's development.

"Every version of AIR ONE builds on what we've learned in the air," said Rani Plaut, CEO and co-founder of AIR. "This latest configuration was purpose-built for piloted flight testing, and every enhancement brings us another step closer to making aviation more accessible. We're excited to introduce this newest version to the aviation community at EAA AirVenture."

The unveiling of the latest AIR ONE marks another milestone for AIR as the company continues advancing its vision for practical, accessible, and Smart Aircraft in aviation. AIR will officially unveil the aircraft during a press conference.
