AMSL AERO 任命 Adriano Di Pietro 博士為首席執行官，帶領澳洲在零排放領域的全球競賽。

World-leading hydrogen electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft developer welcomes respected industry leaders for the next phase of growth, certification and worldwide / global market launch

AMSL Aero , the developer of the world-leading hydrogen-electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft Vertiia, has appointed Dr Adriano Di Pietro as Chief Executive Officer.

Dr Di Pietro will lead the Australian company into its next phase of growth and bring its revolutionary aircraft to certification and international market launch. Vertiia is one of the world’s most advanced hydrogen eVTOLs, the new generation of aircraft that take off and land like a helicopter but fly fast and smoothly like a fixed-wing aeroplane.

Dr Di Pietro joins AMSL Aero from the Aerospace Innovation Research Hub (AIR Hub) at Swinburne University where he served as Director and CEO (Interim) of the Australian Air Mobility Cooperative Research Centre (AAMCRC). He brings deep knowledge, strategic acumen, and scale-up and go-to-market experience to the role, with nearly 20 years of leadership and technical expertise spanning aerospace, automotive, defense and autonomous systems.

In November 2024, AMSL Aero joined an elite group of top-tier global companies to fly an eVTOL in untethered horizontal flight successfully. The historic test flights underscored Vertiia’s leadership as the first eVTOL in the world, designed from inception to utilize hydrogen for long-range, heavy-lift, and passenger operations.

Dr Di Pietro joins AMSL Aero as the company prepares to build its second full-scale prototype of Vertiia and undertake its first hydrogen-powered flight test program. Dr Di Pietro will lead AMSL Aero’s campaign for certification of Vertiia by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), scale up manufacturing capability, and drive global commercial expansion, fueled by strong forward orders.

AMSL Aero Co-Founder and Board Director Andrew Moore said: “I am delighted that Adriano has chosen to join AMSL Aero. His deep technical expertise and industry leadership make him uniquely suited to lead the team into our next growth phase as we move towards hydrogen flight testing.”

Dr Di Pietro said: “I am excited to join AMSL Aero. I believe in the company’s bold vision to revolutionize air mobility through accessible zero-emissions technology. AMSL has a world-class team that’s not only redefining the future of aviation but building a cleaner, faster, and more connected regional transportation system, something that’s vital to Australia’s economic resilience, accessibility, and future prosperity.”

AMSL Aero Chair Chris Smallhorn welcomed Dr Di Pietro, saying his appointment is well-timed to elevate AMSL Aero’s leading development and commercial position.

Mr. Smallhorn said: “After a highly competitive search, we are thrilled to welcome Adriano. His track record in scaling aerospace technology ventures will be instrumental in the next phase of development with our second full-scale prototype, maintaining our position as a global leader in zero-emission aviation. He will lead our growing team of more than 65 talented and passionate engineers and aviation experts as we bring Vertiia’s affordable, zero-emission, long-range, point-to-point aviation capabilities to Australia and the world.”

Dr Di Pietro commences his CEO role at AMSL Aero in the week beginning July 7, 2025.

AMSL Aero Vertiia Fact Sheet

• Vertiia 由於結合了空氣動力學效率與結構設計上的獨特優勢，是一款高效能的混合動力長程零排放垂直起降（VTOL）飛機。

• Vertiia takes off and lands vertically like a helicopter, and flies fast and efficiently like a fixed-wing aeroplane. It is safer, quieter, and more efficient than a helicopter
• Vertiia 具備使用綠氫實現零碳排放營運的潛力
• 首架民用飛機將先獲得有人駕駛飛行認證，並安裝自動化系統以用於未來遠端駕駛的應用
• Vertiia 長期運作的成本將與短程（國內線）客機相當，但其優勢在於不需要跑道，能夠實現點對點的載客服務。
• Vertiia 的輕型空中救護車配置可容納一名飛行員、一名醫療人員（或醫生）及一名患者，亦可配置為載客（1名飛行員 + 4名乘客）或載貨用途。
• Vertiia will cruise at 300km/h and its range will be up to 1,000km on hydrogen power
• AMSL Aero 擁有 Vertiia 的國際專利，保護其核心技術特點，包括其獨特的傾轉機翼機制，結合其箱形翼設計與飛行控制系統
• Vertiia 是一架配備八個電動馬達的傾轉機翼飛行器，能夠從直升機坪或類似大小的降落場起降
• Vertiia 具備連接區域樞紐的功能，且由於座位數較少，能夠提供隨需（非固定班表）服務，以減少產能過剩（空位）的情況。
