The take a look at flight was carried out on battery energy by distant management within the Central West area of NSW in early November. The plane, Vertiia, can take off and land like a helicopter, however fly like a fixed-wing aeroplane, with a variety of as much as 1,000km, fuelled by emissions-free hydrogen, at a cruising velocity of 300km/h, carrying as much as 4 passengers and a pilot.

AMSL Aero will start hydrogen-fuelled flight testing of Vertiia in 2025, amid hopes for regulatory approvals for business flights in 2027.

Vertiia is an eight electrical motor tilting wing plane that may function from a helipad or similarly-sized touchdown website. The preliminary civil plane will probably be licensed for piloted flight, with autonomy methods put in for future distant piloted purposes.
