Meet The Axe
The Axe, a two-seat vertically capable aircraft (VCA).
The Axe, a groundbreaking two-seat VCA aircraft, combines advanced British aeronautical engineering with design simplicity, offering intuitive controls that make flying as easy as driving, a fully electric range of 100 miles, and a price point that makes personal aviation accessible to more people.
Built with safety at its core, the Axe features multiple redundancies and a glide capability to ensure a secure and reliable flight experience.
Propulsion
The Axe is powered by eight brushless motors, with two at each wingtip housed in a single unit for built-in redundancy.
This duplex system delivers 70 kW peak power and 50 kW continuous power, generating up to 930 kg of thrust.
Advanced Flight Control System
At its core, the Axe features the Veronte 4x flight control system—certified to the highest aviation standards. It ensures unparalleled reliability with triple redundancy and no single point of failure.
Already proven in manned electric vertical lift aircraft, it provides precision, stability, and safety.
