The company says it is on track to launch passenger services in a number of locations around the world by 2025.
German startup Lilium has been busy testing its five-seater Lilium Jet, which could reach top speeds of 186 mph and cover a range of 186 miles – putting Lilium firmly in the intercity camp, as opposed to short cross-city journeys. Vertical Aerospace appears to be targeting intercity journeys, and is on a mission to "make personal, on-demand and carbon-free flight a reality." With a top speed of around 50 mph and a total load capacity of 550 pounds, the prototype – which is called Seraph – paves the way for a passenger prototype, which the company is hoping to unveil in 2020. In 2019, British company Vertical Aerospace released footage of an eVTOL prototype completing its maiden flight at an airfield in Wales. Earlier this year, EHang became the first company to obtain a commercial license from the Chinese government to test passenger-grade drones. The drone’s propellers even fold in, which means it could land in a standard parking space. Their electric autonomous passenger area vehicle concept EHang AAV is a two-seater drone capable of carrying two passengers for up to 21 minutes or any destination about 30 miles away. This Guangzhou, China, based company develops and manufactures passenger drones.
