Emergency medical services group CareFlight is to assist AMSL Aero in preparing its Vertiia eVTOL aircraft to be used for carrying patients. The Australian companies announced their partnership during this week’s Avalon Air Show near Melbourne, where they exhibited a cabin mock-up equipped for aeromedical use.

Last month, AMSL Aero achieved its first tethered hover flight with a prototype of the all-electric Vertiia vehicle. With a full payload, it is expected to have a range of up to around 250 kilometers (155 miles) on a single charge and be able to cruise at up to 300 km/h.
