At Vertical we’re ending the week on a high, with Stage 1 of Flight Test Campaign complete! Thanks to the commitment of our team, partners and suppliers we’re now progressing onto Stage 2, Thrustborne flying. This will be untethered, at a higher speed, and height with our Chief Test Pilot Justin ‘Jif’ Paines in the cockpit. #VX4 #eVTOL #Aviation

MILESTONE ACCOMPLISHED: Phase 1 of our VX4 flight test programme is complete! During Phase 1 the VX4 conducted multiple piloted tethered flights and ground runs across 20 piloted sorties, completing a total of 70 individual test points with our Chief Test Pilot Justin ‘Jif’ Paines on board. These tests have enabled our team to collect and measure 35,000 flight and system parameters and verify all systems are operating safely and correctly under different conditions. Completing this first phase of testing is a significant feat, and shows the strength of our aircraft, team and partners. We’re now working with the Civil Aviation Authority as we prepare for Phase 2 of testing – thrustborne flight tests. Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eudJn2pn

The Vertical team is flying the flag at various industry-leading events across the world in the coming months. We’ll be connecting with customers, regulators and other stakeholders to showcase the VX4 and how Vertical is pioneering electric aviation, creating a better way to travel. Find us at: - Airline Economics, Growth Frontiers where our customer team will be speaking on a panel discussing the role of leasing and financing in eVTOL commercialisation on the the 10th of September. - The International Civil Aviation Organization, Advanced Air Mobility Symposium in Montreal from the 9-12th of September, where our CCO and CTO, Michael Cervenka is on a panel discussing staffing the new AAM ecosystem and Will Nathan, our Head of Public Affairs, is exploring innovation in AAM systems and services. - ISTAT Connect, EMEA Conference on the 22-24th of September in Istanbul, where Michael is discussing what we can expect from the next generation of aviation.

Tethered flight tests and ground runs are key to a safe programme. By completing higher-risk tests without putting the aircraft in harm's way, we can begin piloted thrustborne flights with increased confidence. Vertical is working with the Civil Aviation Authority to safely integrate this novel aircraft into the UK's airspace.

35,000 parameters averaging 3.5 million data points every second, available globally to our world-class team within 30 minutes of each flight. Flight tests are an exercise of teamwork, and each sortie is designed to verify the safety and performance of the new aircraft. #VX4 #eVTOL #Aerospace #Data

As we move towards piloted thrustborne flight, the teams are undertaking a host of supporting tests to prove the aircraft's safety and performance. By focusing on piloted testing, we can showcase the true capabilities of the VX4. Next steps: 1. Final Ground Tests 2. Low and High-Speed Taxi Tests 3. Last Phase One Tethered Flight 4.
