This project aims to accelerate the transition of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) from trials to commercially viable, regional operations within the UK, focusing on the economically vital Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor. This initiative directly supports the government's ambition to 'kick-start the economy' by fostering rapid growth and improved connectivity...

This project supports the digital transformation of aircraft design by developing new multi-disciplinary and multi-fidelity simulation tools that will enable novel aircraft architectures with improved aerodynamics and reduced noise emissions. This project addresses more specifically the design issues of electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft deve...

The Accelerated Demonstration of Electric Propeller (ADEPT) project will develop a new generation of propeller technologies for aircraft with electric powertrains. The project will use Vertical Aerospace's VX4 aircraft as a design basis and includes validation testing using part-scale wind tunnels and full-scale test rigs. The project includes Vertical Ae...

This Fast Track project is a unique opportunity allowing the different stakeholders to approach, in an agile way, the development and joint validation of needed UAM technologies and operations in a real European environment. This will help the market bridge the famous “Valley of Death” in technology development, while it will bring a significant amount of...

Vertical Aerospace is developing a high performance, entirely electrically powered aircraft capable of Vertical Take Off and Landing (eVTOL). There is currently no battery system in the world that Vertical can use for this type of application. Vertical Aerospace and UCL are working together in this project on the development of a battery system that can b...

The world faces two pressing challenges. Congestion in cities, the lifeblood of national economies, is rising to unacceptable levels. This causes poor health outcomes and strangles economic growth. At the same time, humanity must confront the threat of climate change and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. The Advanced Mobility Ecosystem Consortium (AM...

Urban Air Mobility is the future of travel, but before this technology is ready for the public to use we need to test the system as a whole in a real life environment. We will create this demonstration environment - a European first - within the controlled airspace of international airports in the South West of UK. It will allow us to identify and fill te...

Vertical Aerospace is developing a high performance urban air taxi, electrically powered, and capable of Vertical Take Off and Landing. The Initial Demonstration Platforms project forms part of Vertical Aerospace's "eVTOL portfolio" and will develop the key technologies to enable the aircraft to commence prototype flight testing.

The reduced environmental impact of electrified aircraft through lower emissions of noise and pollutants, crosscuts traditional fixed wing aircraft and new, innovative, designs exploiting vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) capabilities. The only commercially available battery that can meet the power and energy density demands of this emerging sector is...
