The eVTOL manufacturer says it’s ready to start building the first Lilium Jet models, which it plans to use for flight testing with EASA.

Guardian Agriculture, which also claims the title of the first eVTOL to be certified by the FAA for commercial operations, began serving its first customer this week.

The center is expected to open for government and commercial use in late 2024, beginning with a single site at Syracuse Hancock International Airport (KSYR).

The deposit follows a 2022 agreement between the companies for the preorder of up to 50 Electra aircraft, which Bristow will fly on regional air mobility routes.

Xwing and Daedalean—which both produce automated systems for the cockpit—will collaborate on the development of certification standards.

A tentative agreement between manufacturer Jump Aero and Oregon’s Department of Aviation calls for the delivery of up to 126 eVTOL aircraft.

The company’s new H2D200 and H2D250 models run on hydrogen fuel cells and are designed for everything from last-mile delivery to military resupply.

The hydrogen-electric propulsion developer raised funds, including from the U.K. Infrastructure Bank, to support certification and scaling of its technology.

DOA is a required step for EASA type certification under the regulator’s Special Condition for vertical takeoff and landing (SC-VTOL) rules.
