Ever wanted to learn more about our aircraft? Chief Test Pilot, Si Davies gives the full tour over on our youtube channel. Link in the comments.

Vertical has become the first eVTOL developer to achieve BSI AS9100 certification. This certification confirms that Vertical’s quality management system across design and production meets the rigorous standards used by leading aerospace manufacturers, including Airbus and Boeing. For our customers, it provides independent assurance of the quality and discipline behind our work as we develop Valo and build a company they can depend on. #verticalaerospace #bsi #certified

"Insurance is one of those really critical pieces of the puzzle to make safe and economically viable operations for our customers and make the industry successful" Vertical Chief Test Pilot, Si Davies, attended the Insurance Innovators Summit last week to discuss the role insurance plays in supporting safe, viable operations across the industry. #verticalaerospace #insurance #innovators

AI's impact on aviation goes far beyond copilots and chatbots. Drawing on decades of aerospace leadership and more than five years at the helm of a leading AI company, Palantir Technologies France, Vertical's Chair, Fabrice Brégier, shares where he believes AI will deliver the biggest gains in aerospace: accelerating development, strengthening supply chains, enabling predictive maintenance, and unlocking autonomous flight. #verticalaerospace #ai #aviation

What will it take for flying taxis to move from possibility to passenger service? Chicago's @WGNRadio looks at how passenger-carrying electric aircraft could become part of the transport landscape by 2030. Read the full article: wgnradio.com/automotive/flyi… #verticalaerospace #flyingcars #evtol

A few weeks ago, we welcomed our partners at Bristow Group for a closer look at our aircraft and a chance to try the flight simulator. It was a pleasure to show them around and share more about what we do. #verticalaerospace #bristow #aviation

Throwback to last month. This sequence from the Aircraft Assembly Centre opening event gives us that Friday feeling. To the skies. #FlyingFriday #eVTOL #ElectricAviation

What happens when experienced helicopter pilots get hands on with our aircraft? Last week, pilots from Bristow Group, a leading global provider of mission-critical aviation services, visited our facilities to experience our aircraft through the simulator and in person, spend time with our pilots and engineers, and talk about what the future of operations could look like. It's another important step in a partnership focused on more than aircraft. Together, we're combining next-generation aerospace technology with decades of operational expertise to help advance the future of electric aviation. #eVTOL #ElectricAviation #FutureOfFlight #AdvancedAirMobility

We’re pleased to welcome Marc Fontaine to our Board of Directors. Marc brings more than 20 years of experience at Airbus and is currently CEO of Helsing SAS, Helsing's French entity.

Today, we’re pleased to announce long-term partnerships with ANH Structure, a specialist in advanced aircraft seating systems, and Northrop Grumman, a leader in the development and manufacture of navigation and sensor systems. Together, these partnerships will advance the development of Valo, strengthen our supply chain and support our strategy to deliver one versatile platform across multiple cabin configurations. Both companies join Vertical's existing supplier ecosystem which includes Honeywell Aerospace, Sonaca, Evolito Ltd, HYUNDAI WIA, Syensqo, Isoclima Group and Astronics Corporation.

The doors to our Aircraft Assembly Centre are open, and people are talking. #verticalaerospace #aviation #britishmanufacturing

Ever wondered how quiet Valo really is? When compared with other everyday sounds, the difference is clear. eVTOLs, also known as air taxis, offer a quieter, cleaner, and more comfortable way to travel. #evtol #verticalaerospace

Flying into the weekend ✈️

A look inside our new Aircraft Assembly Centre at Cotswold Airport which we opened yesterday, marking a major step in our journey from prototype development and flight testing towards certification and commercial production of Valo.

Yesterday, we opened our new Aircraft Assembly Centre at Cotswold Airport, where we’ll build certification-conforming Valo aircraft and our hybrid-electric demonstrator ahead of initial customer deliveries. A huge thank you to Make UK, Jim Davison, Kerry McCarthy MP, and everyone else who joined us for the opening ceremony.

Today we welcome Former @Airbus Commercial Aircraft CEO Fabrice Brégier as Chair of Vertical Aerospace. "I have spent much of my career bringing complex aerospace technologies to market, scaling aircraft programmes and building international businesses around them. In my view, Vertical combines exceptional talent, the best product and the most robust strategy to create a category-defining aviation business."

Miami, London, Paris and cities around the world. This is where the future is. #verticalaerospace #futureoftravel
