Crisalion Bets Its FlyFree Propulsion Concept Will Make eVTOL Air Services More Viable
The Spanish start-up says not being first to market will prove an advantage for second-wave advanced air mobility pioneers who will have greater regulatory certainty.

Crisalion Mobility is targeting what seems likely to be a second wave of eVTOL aircraft market entrants at the end of the decade with the five-passenger Integrity model it unveiled in November. The Spanish start-up, which is set to launch a Series B funding round in the first quarter of 2024, believes its patented FlyFree propulsion and stability system will set it apart from the crowded field of lift-and-cruise and multicopter vehicles already vying to enter service from 2025.

Four sets of four-rotor units are attached to a pair of booms on a fixed wing, with each operating independently to give what the company says will be a higher degree of control and reliability. The piloted battery-electric aircraft is expected to have a range of 100 kilometers (63 miles), a cruise speed of 180 kph (110 mph), and noise levels of 45 decibels.
