In July 2024, Vertical Aerospace took a significant step forward in the development of their latest electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, the VX4. As part of their rigorous testing program, the VX4 has successfully undergone its initial ground tests, setting the stage for more complex evaluations.
As we stand on the precipice of a revolution in urban air mobility, the emergence of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft is poised to redefine our skies. These futuristic flying machines promise to alleviate urban congestion and transform short-distance travel. However, with this new technology comes a pressing question: How will we train the pilots who will navigate these aerial innovations, and to what extent will human intervention be required in their operation?
