The vertical space performed the first good flight from an electric opening, driving planes and an open air landing. The historical flight of the initial model VX4, which was tried by Simon Davis test chief, witnessed that the plane takes off and fly and the ground as a traditional plane, with the support created by the pavilion.
When flying over the rural area of the UK of Kutsousy Airport, the first model VX4 for the first time showed a controlled journey with wings in the open air field, which represents a major step towards commercial implementation as part of the Vertical's Flightpath 2030 strategy.
The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has approved the flight through the long spaces at Kutsoold Airport, the largest private airport in the United Kingdom, which led to the expansion of flying permission from Al -Amoudi. This happened after a strict analysis of tens of thousands of technical documents and security pages.
“Taking the plane outside the landing field and the flying cotswolds for the first time was really distinctive and the most prominent in my career. Our predictions of performance were completely correct, and the plane did not always take off as a natural extension of all the soil tests and preparation that we have done. Smooth and simple to work and the level of fans sound silent and fun in the cabin.
Currently, Vertical is the only company in the world to try an initial model for EVTOL with good wings developed based on the approval of the CAA project (DOA) – DOA is required to obtain a type certificate required for passenger business operations. CAA works closely with the European Aviation Security Agency (EASA) for the simultaneous verification and VX4 certificate according to the highest safety standards required for commercial use.
“Getting a trial journey with wings in the open air field under the supervision of the UK CAA is an important moment in our certificate issuance trip. Each step must be adopted, and this is intent. A faster way to obtain a type certificate,” said Stewart Simpson, CEO of Vertical Aerospace.
Upon arrival at a stable trip, it was controlled by the wing, Al -Amoudi took an important step towards the following important teacher: a fully good transition journey, scheduled in the second half of 2025. This will explain the VX4's ability to switch perfectly between the vertical height and the front trips – the operational situation that will be used in the service of flights.
During the winged flight, VX4 will reach speeds of 120 knots (220 km/h) and altitudes near 2000 feet in real circumstances. Engineers picked up more than 30,000 data teachers during the flight, confirming that the plane has led an investment in terms of energy stability, control and use.
