Vertical Aerospace unveil Valo eVTOL aircraft

Vertical Aerospace (EVTL) “revealed Valo, its new commercial eVTOL aircraft that will enter into service following regulatory approval. Valo is the aircraft that succeeds Vertical’s VX4 prototype – with a new, more advanced design shaped by extensive insights from the Company’s piloted test programme and direct feedback from airline and operator customers. Designed to fly up to 100 miles at speeds of up to 150 mph with zero operating emissions, Valo is targeting airliner-level safety certification in 2028 ahead of entering service with our airline and operator customers. Early commercial routes are expected to include airport-to-city centre connections.”
