Dubbed the Seraph, the prototype is capable of carrying up to 250kg, and was built to test new technologies and systems for integration into the company’s upcoming passenger model, due to be unveiled next year. The Seraph made to reach speeds of up to 80km per hour and features a unique passive cooling system and a customizable design.
“Today is another major milestone on the path towards carbon-free flight. One year ago, we flew a full-scale electric VTOL aircraft, the UK’s first. Today, we’re revealing flight footage of our second full-scale prototype, the Seraph, an air taxi prototype capable of carrying 250kg,” Stephen Fitzpatrick, Founder and CEO of Vertical Aerospace, said.
“Air travel is one of the worst contributors to climate change and among the slowest sectors to decarbonize. Our mission at Vertical Aerospace is to make personal, on-demand and carbon-free flight a reality.”
