Elroy Air and FedEx recently announced plans to launch test flights for middle-mile logistics next year using the Chaparral hydrid eVTOL.

MightyFly said it has completed its first series of flight testing with its MF-100 autonomous hybrid eVTOL aircraft for cargo delivery.

Elroy Air has just inked a deal with Mesa Airlines that includes up to 150 pre-orders for the Chaparral hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft.

Providing humanitarian services is the next major goal for Elroy Air, the developers of the Chaparral hybrid-electric autonomous cargo drone.

Volocopter has partnered with Austrian vehicle manufacturer Schwarzmüller to create a “Mobile Vertipad” for the eVTOL VoloDrone.

Volocopter’s eVTOL VoloDrone performed a successful first public flight demonstration on Oct. 12 at the ITS World Congress event in Hamburg, Germany.
