Vertical Aerospace's VX4 eVTOL has successfully completed its first thrust-borne flight, marking a significant achievement in electric aviation. This piloted test demonstrates the aircraft's capabilities and paves the way for further testing, including upcoming wing-borne maneuvers. The company plans to apply for additional flight licenses with the UK's Civil Aviation Authority to advance its Flightpath 2030 strategy. The VX4, capable of reaching speeds of 150 mph and seating five passengers, enhances the future of intercity travel through advanced eVTOL technology.
