- The two-seater eVTOL, priced at $150,000, features a patented "Fly by Intent" control system for simplified operation, a 95.5 nm range, 135 knots top speed, and a one-hour recharge time.
- Air One is currently undergoing flight testing, with full-scale uncrewed hover tests completed and manned flights planned for early next year, targeting U.S. certification and deliveries by 2024.
- Despite being an Israeli company, Air is focusing on U.S. certification and has already secured nearly 200 pre-orders, indicating strong market interest in its personal eVTOL approach.
