Vertical Aerospace completes first piloted thrustborne flight maneuvers

Vertical Aerospace (EVTL) has completed its first piloted thrustborne flight maneuvers. The milestone was achieved after the business received approval from the UK Civil Aviation Authority to expand its Permit to Fly, enabling Vertical to progress from piloted thrustborne hover to piloted thrustborne low-speed flight maneuvers at altitude. The latest flight included roll, yaw and spot turn maneuvers and was flown by Simon Davies, Vertical’s chief test pilot. Completing the initial piloted thrustborne maneuvers at its Flight Test Centre made Vertical only the second company worldwide to achieve this step using a full scale vectored thrust eVTOL aircraft.
