AutoFlight handovers Japan’s first electric air taxi

AutoFlight has reached a significant milestone by completing the official delivery of its first Prosperity aircraft to a customer in Japan, marking the world’s inaugural delivery of a civilian ton-class eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft. The five-seater Prosperity aircraft was handed over to a pioneering Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operator in Japan, whose identity will be revealed in due course. This operator is currently developing plans for demonstration eVTOL flights at the 2025 Osaka World Expo and a broader AAM rollout in Japan.


In a separate achievement, AutoFlight’s CarryAll aircraft, the cargo variant of Prosperity, recently obtained Type Certification (TC) from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) on March 22, 2024. This makes it the world’s first eVTOL aircraft above one ton to receive type certification.
