Kitty Hawk has joined the U.S. Air Force’s Agility Prime program to explore possible dual uses of its commercial Heaviside aircraft.

Beta Technologies’ Military Flight Release (MFR) for its Alia eVTOL is the first such approval for manned operations of an electric aircraft.

Panelists at a webinar hosted by McKinsey & Company discussed progress toward eVTOL use cases outside of passenger transportation.

With Beta Technologies close behind, Joby Aviation has been awarded the first airworthiness approval by the U.S. military for an eVTOL.
