We are a group of experienced aerospace executives, engineers, and entrepreneurs who have designed a family of high speed tiltwing VTOL aircraft based on the Vy 421. The Vy 421 is three times faster than helicopters, with half the operating costs, and enhanced safety, so we expect it to grow to dominate the VIP transport helicopter segment and find numerous military applications.  It will also enable a new city-center to city-center airline service, cheaper than current air travel options, and three to five times faster door to door. Since 2009, we have built and flown 17 prototype VTOL aircraft, giving our patented Vy a more than decade-long lineage of real-world experience. Using proven technologies, including the GE CT7-8 engine and a whole-aircraft parachute, and requiring no new regulatory regimes nor air traffic control systems, the Vy 421 will finally bring the promise of civil VTOL flight within everyone’s reach.
