Austrian aviation company CycloTech recently began flight testing its personal electric vertical takeoff and landing — or eVTOL — aircraft prototype. Dubbed the BlackBird, the demonstrator’s inaugural flight, according to the company, marks “a major milestone in our mission to revolutionize air mobility.”
In a video documenting the flight, CycloTech chief technology officer Tahsin Kart said it took 11 months to bring the BlackBird from concept to first flight. And while the first “flight” was more of a hovering liftoff, it still represents a step forward for the company’s tech.
