Australian firm successfully tests its eVTOL with a 620-mile range

The concept gains significance not just because it is from the other side of the globe but because it is also one of the most compact designs unveiled in this space, thanks to its box-wing type construction. “The combination of its unique aerodynamic and structural design means it travels further using less energy,” according to the firm’s website.
Vertiia is intended to carry up to five passengers and is designed from the ground up to run on hydrogen fuel as well. The firm is in the process of integrating a hydrogen fuel.
A highly efficient long-range model
The firm claims it is the ‘world’s most efficient electric Vertical Take off and Landing aircraft, owing to its energy-efficient design. The eVTOL will be able to cruise at a maximum speed of 180mph (300km/h) and travel 155 miles (250km) powered purely by electric batteries before recharging.
The range of the aircraft, which can take off and land like a helicopter, can be further extended to an enviable figure of 620 miles (1,000km) using hydrogen fuel. The firm intends the aircraft to be utilized for aeromedical, emergency services, and passenger markets.
The firm will also be looking at other areas where it can become helpful in a place as large as Australia. “Taxi operation is one use, and there are lots of people throughout Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane who would love to see their commute shortened significantly by flying from their home directly to work,” Andrew Moore, the co-founder of AMSL Aero, told Financial Review.
