Overview

Airbus's four-seat all-electric eVTOL demonstrator for advanced air mobility, built around a lift-and-cruise configuration with fixed wings, a V-tail and distributed electric propulsion.

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.
