On December 17, 2025, advanced air mobility developer AIR unveiled the first production unit of its electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, the AIR ONE.<\/p>\n

This enhanced version of its uncrewed cargo eVTOL\u00a0features\u00a0optimized\u00a0battery integration and a larger cargo bay, as well as\u00a0foldable wings and motor arms\u00a0for\u00a0more\u00a0compact storage\u00a0and ease of\u00a0transportation.<\/p>\n

Range and efficiently have also been improved by refining the aerodynamics of the airframe, which has been produced in collaboration with automotive engineering firm EDAG. The flight control system has also been updated for increased stability, responsiveness, and redundancy.<\/p>\n

This first\u00a0production\u00a0aircraft\u00a0is set to take off shortly on its\u00a0maiden flight in southern Israel. The next units\u00a0will be sent to the United States where they will be used in further flight demonstrations and will support the company\u2019s certification efforts with the\u00a0Federal Aviation Administration\u00a0(FAA).<\/p>\n

AIR has been conducting flight tests in the US since\u00a0it was granted\u00a0an experimental airworthiness certificate from the FAA.\u00a0It\u00a0was\u00a0during one of\u00a0these\u00a0flights that an uncrewed AIR ONE\u00a0prototype\u00a0crashed in\u00a0Indiantown,\u00a0Florida\u00a0on\u00a0October 23, 2025<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Cargo Version Of The AIR ONE<\/p>\n

This\u00a0production airframe is for the cargo version of the AIR ONE, which\u00a0is capable of carrying\u00a0a\u00a0550 lb.\u00a0(249.9 kg)\u00a0payload\u00a0and conduct uncrewed operations beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS). However,\u00a0AIR is also working on obtaining a light sports\u00a0aircraft\u00a0(LSA) certification for the two-seater\u00a0crewed\u00a0version of the\u00a0aircraft.<\/p>\n

In July 2025, AIR also announced\u00a0both the closure of a US$23 million Series A funding round and\u00a0the\u00a0creation\u00a0of\u00a0a\u00a0new 32,000\u00a0square meter\u00a0development and manufacturing center<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in central Israel.<\/p>\n
