Vertical next intends to put a pilot in the aircraft as it progresses its flight test programme to include crewed flight missions. Watch Vertical’s VX4 in flight here In recent weeks, Vertical’s VX4 aircraft has been undergoing a series of rigorous, remotely-piloted ‘thrustborne’ test flights.

You may fly this license-free aircraft as early as next year. HEXA is a single-passenger amphibious eVTOL aircraft that has 18 independent vertical lift propellers with electric motors. You do not need a pilot's license to fly it, but a short, less than one-hour VR simulator training is required. Developed by LIFT Aircraft, HEXA successfully completed its first public manned flight demonstration at SXSW 2022. The company has signed an initial agreement with Charm Aviation, one of the largest hel

Electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, or eVTOLs, could be the solution to rush hour traffic. But jumping in one to get across town is still a long way off. Anderson Cooper tested out Lift Aircraft’s Hexa to see what this future could look like. https://cbsn.ws/3MfCXNl | 60 Minutes
