Universal Avionics is to provide key flight deck technology for the CityHawk eVTOL aircraft being developed by Urban Aeronautics. Under a November 10 agreement, the U.S.-based avionics group will supply the Israeli start-up with its ClearVision enhanced flight vision system and also its Aperture advanced video management device for the vehicle.

In July, Urban Aeronautics confirmed that it has redesigned the CityHawk’s fuselage and intends to add new flight controls and navigation systems. The five-seat aircraft has ducted fans that will now be powered by a combination of electric motors and hydrogen fuel cells provided by HyPoint.
