THE AIR ONE full-scale prototype developed by Israeli electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft developer AIR has completed its first full forward flight, transitioning from hover to cruise. Loaded to its full 1,100kg capacity, AIR ONE took off and transitioned to its nominal cruising speed. This landmark accomplishment kicks off thousands of flight hours planned for the aircraft as part of its FAA certification process, which will see range, speed and endurance increase as AIR continues to optimise the aircraft to achieve its design flight profile.
