 📢Spreading the Word!📢 Leonardo, Vertical Aerospace to jointly develop VX4 eVTOL carbon fiber fuselage!

"Vertical Aerospace an aerospace and technology company pioneering zero-emissions aviation has agreed to a joint development program with Leonardo for the design, testing, manufacture, and supply of the carbon fiber composite fuselage for Vertical’s VX4 electric aircraft."

"The VX4 is a near-silent, entirely electric, piloted aircraft that is expected to have a range of more than 100 miles and to reach top speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. With a four-passenger capacity, Vertical says the zero-operating emissions VX4 will also have a low cost-per-passenger mile, similar to that of a taxi."

"Vertical and Leonardo will work together on optimizing lightweight composite structures, modular design, systems installation, and structural testing for the co-development of the aircraft’s fuselage. According to Vertical, this is currently in place for at least six certification aircraft, up to the successful certification of the VX4."
