Advanced Air Mobility

Advanced air mobility firms Joby Aviation, Lilium, and Electra, are among those to be featured at this year’s event in Las Vegas.

The manufacturer put the aircraft’s electrical power system, comprising 30 engines within flaps on the main wing and canard, through a series of simulations and tests.

The manufacturer will need to obtain the FAA’s sign-off before customers can begin training on its CX300.

The military is intrigued by the aircraft’s mix of vertical takeoff and landing capability and low noise.

The electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft manufacturer could sell as many as 116 Midnight air taxis to Future Flight Global.

Air taxi manufacturers will have another opportunity to showcase their technology to the world at the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles.

The manufacturer also has plans to fly in New York, Chicago, and the San Francisco Bay Area in partnership with United Airlines and Southwest Airlines.

Beta will train additional company and FAA personnel using dual controls on its flagship electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) Alia 250.

The company is also seeking to have its FAA type certificate validated in the U.K. and Japan via bilateral agreements between U.S. and foreign regulators.

Minnesota joins New Hampshire as the first states to permit roadable aircraft—vehicles that can both drive and fly—to use public roadways.
