Current status

Airbus rolled out the prototype in 2024 and continued demonstrator flight testing through 2025, but said in January 2025 that it would postpone launching a full urban air mobility programme until battery and energy-storage technologies mature further. As of mid-2026 that pause remains in place - no relaunch or cancellation has been announced, and the effort continues as a technology demonstrator rather than a commercial programme.
