Vertical Aerospace announced its partnership with Leonardo. The Italian helicopter manufacturer will develop a carbon composite fuselage for the VX4 eVTOL Aircraft. The initial agreement includes the construction of 6 air taxis. However, it was stated that this agreement could be expanded up to the production amount of more than 2,000 units. The VX4 eVTOL, which has a four-passenger capacity targeting urban transportation, provides all-electric, emission-free transportation and has a maximum speed of over 200 mph (321 kph). The company, which has already received pre-orders from companies such as American Airlines and Avolon, plans to start test flights by the end of this year. Click here if you want more information.
