We expect to be the first to offer eVTOL customer flights at scale, and the first to develop a network of eVTOL vertiports for aerial mobility. With flight testing complete, we believe we're ready for our commercial launch later this year.

under FAA Part 103, which allows us to launch pay-per-flight operations, no costly FAA-type certification or pilot's license required. HEXA's parachute is effective as low as 40 feet above ground level. Your browser does not support HTML5 video. With 18 electric motors, a triple-redundant flight computer and a whole-aircraft ballistic parachute, HEXA was designed for safety and is capable of speeds up to 62 mph, HEXA can fly up to 15 miles in 15 minutes. We determined the incremental time savings achieved with wings are not worth the safety tradeoffs. Instead, we chose a hover-optimized design for enhanced levels of maneuverability, wind resilience, and redundancy. Some eVTOL developers have winged aircraft capable of longer-range flights. Designed to be the safest possible aircraft for short-range flights, HEXA was purpose-built for aerial micro-mobility. HEXA makes flying so simple and inexpensive that almost anyone can experience the joy, freedom, and utility of personal, vertical flight. LIFT's first aircraft, HEXA, is an electric, vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft a single-seat, hover-optimized, semi-autonomous personal aerial vehicle.
We believe these trips are, instead, best served by point-to-point flights in personal scale, hover-optimized eVTOL aircraft capable of taking off and landing virtually anywhere. Helicopters are an alternative, but are extremely loud and expensive to operate, making vertical flight inaccessible to all but the wealthy.
Of these trips, 85% are fewer than 15 miles and 90% are single-occupant. The average American spends 54 hours stuck in traffic each year.
