An Australian-made eVTOL aircraft has taken flight for the first time. Sydney-based advanced air mobility start-up AMSL Aero announced on February 21 that a prototype of its five-seat Vertiia eVTOL aircraft has successfully completed its first hover flights.
Since the start of the Vertiia prototype's flight testing campaign, AMSL Aero has conducted 11 remotely piloted hover tests with it, a company spokesperson told FutureFlight. Those flights, during which the aircraft was tethered to the ground, reached altitudes of up to three meters (10 feet) and each lasted for about one minute, with one flight exceeding 90 seconds. All of the hover fight tests took place in the Central West region of New South Wales, just west of Sydney.
