VX4: Lift off
Thursday, 20 July 2023

We have successfully flown our full-scale electric aircraft, reaching our target speed of 40kts (just over 40 mph or 70 kmh) in a series of rigorous, remotely-piloted ‘thrustborne’ test flights.

The only full-scale eVTOL aircraft in the country, the VX4 lifted, hovered, flew and landed, powered solely by the thrust of the cutting-edge battery-powered propulsion system.

This is a huge milestone for Vertical, our team and partners, proving that electric flight is within reach.
