Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is an air transport system concept that integrates new, transformational aircraft designs and flight technologies into existing and modified airspace operations.

eVTOL stands for electrical vertical take-off and landing. An eVTOL aircraft takes off vertically similar to a helicopter and is able to fly or cruise forward like an fixed-wing airplane. The aircraft is entirely powered by electricity, and does not require any runway to take-off. The can land on anywhere with sufficient landing space, making it seamlessly integrated into cities without disrupting existing infrastructures.

hVTOL aircraft stands for hybrid vertical take-off and landing. An hVTOL is similar to an eVTOL aircraft in terms of flight operations and flexibility to take-off and land. However, the aircraft is powered with both a combustion based engine and electrical batteries.

Urban Air Mobility is a new air transportation system for passengers and cargo in and around densely populated and built-up environments, made possible by vertical take-off and landing electric aircraft (eVTOL) equipped with new technologies, such as enhanced battery technologies and electric propulsion.

Regional air mobility can be defined as the transportation of passengers and goods by air over 150 km, primarily using smaller regional airports or vertiports. It brings together new aviation technologies and existing small airport infrastructure into a transportation model that is more equitable, more economical, and more environmentally friendly for air travel over short distances, compared to today’s status quo.

An analysis by Deloitte based on data from research and analyst reports shows that UAM market is expected to grow up to US $13.8 billion in 2040, while RAM market grow to about US$ 3.9 billion during the same period. To ensure cost effective market penetration, we are optimizing our aircraft to serve the market in 20-38 km routes for UAM market and 200 km plus for RAM market. We developed our aircraft based on these markets, and have developed proprietary features for it.

While we understand that there is no innovation without risk, here at , we developed our aircraft with the highest safety in mind. It is based on the fail-safe principle where the aircraft should still be able to perform continued safe flight and landing after any single failure. Our aircraft critical systems are designed with redundancy: having two or more ways to still perform functions on any failures. We designed our aircraft to be continuously monitored and redundant, including the electrical propulsion system that enables distributed propulsion system, fly-by-wire controls, and pilot displays. We have eight independent battery packs, each powering dual winding electric motors on both vertical and horizontal propellers.

At we want to focus on a more realistic approach. Our both hybrid and electrical powertrain is currently being developed by trusted manufacturers known globally. We have conducted numerous simulations and test to prove that is flight worthy.

We are building this VTOL aircraft with manufacturing and certification in mind, hence a powertrain that is safe, reliable and efficient.

Currently we are looking at FAA certification path; we are closely monitoring both FAA and EASA certification requirements to ensure all criteria are met or exceeded. A type certification of this novel design aircraft is a rigorous process between the regulators and the applicants that have intentions to provide the public with a certain level of confidence that the aircraft will meet the highest safety standards.

initial commercialization will target the North American and Asia Pacific (Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Korea, Japan and Australia) regions. But don't worry, we will reach a greater region soon!

You will be able to book your trip directly from your smartphone and board it at the nearest vertiport. Providing the most flexible route options to reach your intended destination. You will also be able to choose between solo ride or ridesharing ride where you will be put into with other people with similar trip destination.
