Electric aircraft manufacturer Beta hopes to take its conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) Alia to market in 2025.

Many passenger-carrying electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft are expected to cost millions to produce, but EHang will sell its EH216-S for far less.

The series B round brought the company’s total funding raised to date to $145 million, supporting development of the ES-30 regional airplane.

Two new partners join Airbus’ collaboration with ITA Airways, which began back in 2022, to bring air taxis to Italy.

The electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) design from Archer Aviation is making ‘rapid progress’ in development, the manufacturer said.

The company retrofits Cessna Caravans with its continuous autopilot system that automates all phases of flight, from takeoff to landing.

The Embraer air taxi subsidiary is enlisting Thales, Honeywell, Recaro Aircraft Seating, and FACC to provide components for its flagship air taxi.

U.K.-based AJW Group will oversee Lilium Jet inventory, provide warehousing and logistics services, and offer repair and asset management as an exclusive partner.

Air Force pilots flew the electric aircraft manufacturer’s conventional takeoff and landing design in a series of experimental trials.

From the loading and unloading of packages to flight itself, almost everything about the 2024 Cento is fully automated.
