Ryse Aero Technologies is getting ready to begin deliveries of its Recon personal eVTOL this year. After flying the Recon at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last month, the company opened its online reservation system and has already collected nearly 100 order requests for the $150,000 aircraft, Ryse CEO Mick Kowitz told FutureFlight.
The company’s order book is now worth more than $10 million, Kowitz said, and about 80 percent of those initial preorders are from farmers with more than 100 acres of land. Ryse plans to begin converting those reservations into firm orders and collecting payments from customers in late March or early April, with deliveries beginning in late Q3 of 2023. Agricultural customers will have priority over recreational users when it comes to scheduling delivery slots, but after that, it will be first come, first served, according to Kowitz. Prospective customers can reserve a Recon at Ryse's website.
