Vertical Aerospace

The future has landed. 

Stuck in endless traffic in Sau Paulo in 2016, our founder Stephen Fitzpatrick, pondered how to develop a quicker and more sustainable way to move.

Fast forward to today, our mission at Vertical Aerospace is to revolutionise travel by pioneering electric aviation. We’re creating the UK’s first fully electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, the VX4.

Four passengers. One pilot. Cruising speeds of up to 150 mph in astonishingly near silence. The zero-emission VX4 combines the exacting safety standards of commercial airliners with the affordability of an everyday train journey.

Our goal is to recruit pioneers.
 
We’re building upon our ecosystem of world-class team of engineering ingenuity, doers, idealists and pragmatists pioneering electric aviation. We will enable you to unleash your technological brilliance, deep expertise and extraordinary creativity, all whilst living and breathing our Vertical values:

Courage – we make brave choices
Ingenuity – we challenge convention
Safety – we build success through safety
Openness – we win together 

Revolutionising travel for the world is a mammoth task, but if our mission, values, and the idea of being a history-maker awakens your inner-pioneer, please reach out for a confidential discussion on how Vertical Aerospace can take you there.
