Hydrogen-powered eVTOL aircraft developer Urban Aeronautics has launched a partnership with Singapore-based helicopter charter booking service Ascent to develop urban air mobility (UAM) services in Asia. The Israel-based company’s Metro Skyways subsidiary is developing the six-seat CityHawk eVTOL model, which it believes will be well suited to autonomous air taxi operations.
