BETA Technologies posted a $149 million quarterly loss while more than doubling revenue - here's what that math actually means for electric aviation.
TowerOn June 27, a North Carolina paramedic flew the first U.S. advanced life support call aboard an electric eVTOL aircraft.
TowerJoby's S4 eVTOL is a real, flying aircraft - but battery physics, FAA certification, and pilot economics will decide if air taxis survive the real world.
VectorHyde County, NC used a single-seat Pivotal BlackFly eVTOL on two live medical calls, once beating the ambulance by 20 minutes.
TowerWhy Beta Technologies built electric aircraft chargers before its ALIA airplanes were even certified - and why that bet may define electric aviation.
VectorNASA's X-57 Maxwell never flew, but its 14-motor electric design retired the hard risks that today's electric aircraft industry builds on.
VectorBoeing is selling Wisk Aero, SkyGrid, and Insitu to Archer Aviation, consolidating the autonomous air taxi race around fewer, better-funded players.
TowerVertical Aerospace raised $100 million to fund Valo eVTOL certification, in-house battery production, and a new hybrid-electric prototype.
TowerThe FAA created powered-lift, the first new civil aircraft category since the helicopter, and its SFAR reshapes pilot training and busy airspace.
TowerChina's EHang EH216-S became the first certified pilotless passenger eVTOL, beating US and European air taxis to market.
VectorBeta Technologies is betting the first profitable electric airplane won't take off vertically - it'll roll down a runway and plug into a network Beta built itself.
VectorJoby Aviation leased a 45,000 sq ft base at Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport - here's what it means for DFW pilots.
TowerNASA's X-57 Maxwell never flew, but its 14-motor electric design de-risked distributed propulsion for the entire eVTOL industry.
VectorJoby's S4 eVTOL air taxi has flown the hard maneuvers, but the real hurdle is FAA certification of its batteries and software.
VectorA new bill would force the FAA to publish certification timelines for eVTOL air taxis - and the transparency could eventually reach GA certification too.
TowerBeta Technologies' Alia CX300 skips the hover for a runway takeoff, gaining range and building an East Coast electric-aircraft charging network.
VectorJoby's S4 eVTOL flew ~1,400 test flights before its piloted demo - here's why certifying an air taxi is harder than building one.
VectorWhy Archer's 12-rotor Midnight eVTOL chose a heavier lift-plus-cruise design over the tiltrotor - and why that bet is about certification, not speed.
VectorElectra's hybrid-electric EL9 uses blown lift to take off and land in 150 feet, aiming to replace helicopters on short regional routes.
VectorHow Beta Technologies built an electric airplane and the CCS charging network it needs - and why the plain fixed-wing came first.
