Current status

Full-scale engineering prototype first flew December 19, 2025; completed the hover/low-speed test block in May 2026 (59 flights, 100+ test points). Returned to flight July 18, 2026 to begin transition testing, then activated the pusher propeller for the first time on August 3, 2026, reaching 27 kt stabilized. Aviation Week reported nearly 70 flights as of August 24, 2026. Design freeze targeted year-end 2026; six conforming prototypes assemble through 2027 with first crewed conforming flight in H2 2027; ANAC/FAA certification targeted 2028.
