Everything We Know About The Air Force’s Futuristic New eVTOL – SlashGear

The benefits of a small eVTOL vehicle aren’t exclusive to the military — they present an excellent opportunity for the commercial and personal sectors as well, which are Lift Aircraft’s primary target markets. After all, owning a personal aircraft that fits in your garage, doesn’t need a runway, and can land more or less anywhere would be convenient for anybody. What’s more, Hexa is designed to only be subject to regulations governing ultralight aircraft, which don’t require a license to fly.

At the end of the day, Lift Aircraft, which manufactures Hexa, is a commercial operation first and a defense contractor second. While it is working with the USAF under the Agility Prime program, development for its deployment for personal and commercial use continues. In fact, many civilians, including Anderson Cooper, have had the privilege of flying in a Hexa ahead of U.S. airmen, who have only piloted the vehicle remotely.

That being said, you might have to hold off on making plans to take off from your driveway and commute via Hexa. Possible regulatory limitations aside, Lift is only set to start deliveries of a very limited number of Hexa aircraft to private buyers in April 2023 and has yet to announce plans for future deliveries, so your next best bet will likely be to keep up with their plans to deploy Hexa for recreational use in New York City, which could happen as early as the end of 2023.
