Company Overview

Vertical Aerospace’s mission is to pioneer electric aviation, helping to lead the transition to a more efficient mode of travel and redefining urban transport – making it quieter, faster, and cleaner.

The VX4, Vertical’s electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, has been designed to have cruise speeds of 150 mph, a range of up to 100 miles, and zero operating emissions. 

Vertical’s world-class team of engineers and aviation industry leaders is partnering with top aerospace suppliers and global aviation operators. The company has a leading order book with globally diversified, well-established customers including American Airlines, Japan Airlines, AirAsia, GOL, and many more.

Why Vertical?

A Best-in-Class Aircraft

The VX4 is designed to be a best-in-class aircraft in terms of safety, capacity, and comfort. Targeting the most powerful eVTOL powertrain in the industry, Vertical has secured a leading order book backed by globally diversified, well-established aviation operators.

Accelerating Towards Commercialization

Vertical is moving at pace through the certification process towards commercialization. Already in 2025, the VX4 completed thrustborne flight tests, a key testing milestone with a full-scale, piloted prototype, becoming the second company ever to achieve this critical milestone with a vectored thrust eVTOL. Vertical’s momentum is building with all phases of piloted flight tests on track to be completed in 2025.

The Only True Global Player

Vertical’s VX4 has been engineered to meet the highest safety standards in the market (by the UK Civil Aviation Authority), making it multiples safer than any other aircraft in the sector. By certifying to the highest safety threshold in aviation, the VX4 will be uniquely positioned as the only aircraft capable of serving the full global market.

Highly Efficient Capital Deployment

As a pure-play OEM, Vertical’s asset-light approach provides it with a clear path to profitability. To date, the company has spent ~75% less per aircraft than competitors for its superior product – making it the most efficient play to capitalize on the eVTOL market.

A World-Class Team of Experts

Vertical is backed by a world-class team of highly skilled engineers and industry veterans, with deep experience certifying and supporting 30+ aircraft and propulsion systems. This technical expertise is further bolstered by a recently strengthened Board of Directors, bringing seasoned industry knowledge and connections.
