About the company:

We’ve spent more than a decade developing and testing an all-electric aircraft that will help us achieve our vision of saving a billion people an hour every day, while helping to protect our precious planet.
Designed to take off and land vertically, our aircraft will travel 150+ miles on a single charge, allowing a pilot and four passengers to leapfrog over the congestion below, emissions-free.
Our aircraft is quiet when it takes off and is nearly silent in flight, opening up unprecedented opportunities for traveling in both congested cities and under-served rural communities.
With more than 1000 test flights behind us, we’re planning to start commercial passenger flights in 2024.
Our team is made up of around 1000 awesome people, with offices in Santa Cruz, San Carlos and Marina, California, as well as Washington D.C. and Munich, Germany.
