Update shared on 12 Dec 2025
It’s been an incredibly exciting week with Vertical Aerospace revealing on Wednesday the design for their intended commercial passenger aircraft, Valo. And what a beauty…
With what appears to be a potentially class leading aircraft design with larger anticipated payload than leading competitors, four and six passenger seat configurations, together with an anticipated range of 100 miles, the future looks very bright for Vertical Aerospace. More information can be found in the PDF linked below.
In the near future we can expect news on the final stage of testing the prototype aircraft; the transition stage which takes the aircraft from thrustborne to wingborne flight. And then in 2026 I hope to see news of a strategic partnership and capital investment that will hopefully take Valo through the certification process expected to complete in H2 2028.
I wish Team Vertical all the best, and as they would say… to the skies!
