Vahana launched in 2015 with the mission to advance self-piloted, electric vertical takeoff and landing flight
Over the years, our team has included data scientists, engineers and flight operations professionals focused on designing, developing and testing safe, short-range, self-piloted transportation
We have demonstrated fully self-piloted flight with electric propulsion and completed full-transition from hover to cruise and back again
"We approach problems holistically. I don't think it's rational or reasonable to do engineering without accounting for the constraints upon which it must exist."
Project Vahana developed and flight tested an all-electric, self-piloted vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) passenger aircraft.
Our work on this demonstrator confirms our belief that fully autonomous vehicles will allow us to achieve the scale required of Urban Air Mobility.

A Celebratory, Bittersweet Moment: Vahana’s Final Flight
In our 2016 timeline intro blog, we teased the release of our newest series detailing month by month accounts of the behind the scenes efforts that went into making Vahana a reality…
When we first set out to design, develop and test Vahana it seemed like a huge undertaking — especially considering our accelerated timeline. To keep our colleagues throughout…
We regularly publish about milestones we reach on our flight test journey, from first flight in January 2018 to full transition in May 2019. We recently completed our 100th flight…
