Though over 100 orders were filed with the British Aircraft Corporation/Sud Aviation consortium for the aircraft by major airlines around the world, these orders were all non-binding, and…

While the former designed the balsa wood body, the latter supplied the PowerUp 4.0 electric drive module. The result of a successful Kickstarter campaign, the 4.0 module can also be added to user-folded paper…

Air mobility startup Wisk Aero has bumped up the passenger-carrying capacity of its upcoming air taxi from two to four, and none of those will be a pilot. The company intends to take its 6th-gen autonomous electric city hopper to market, and will now be seeking FAA type certification.

The Aerofugia AE200 technical demonstrator is a full-size, five-seat eVTOL air taxi prototype with tilting propulsion units.
