ERC Flies eVTOL Prototype and Commits to Uncrewed Version
Both versions will have hybrid-electric powertrains for greater payload and range
ERC Systems Romeo eVTOL
ERC Systems has completed a round of flight testing with its Romeo full-scale eVTOL prototype aircraft.

ERC System is set to announce plans for an uncrewed version of the lift-and-cruise eVTOL aircraft it is developing. The German company has opted to prioritize hybrid-electric versions of both the uncrewed and crewed models to deliver the range and payload it feels are needed to satisfy initial special logistics applications for the aircraft.

On Tuesday, ERC announced that it has completed an initial phase of flight testing with its full-scale Romeo prototype. Flights started in November at Erding near Munich under an operational permit from Germany's LBA aviation authority.
