Overview
US-based VTOL aircraft company headquartered in San Diego, California, founded in 2017. Transcend Air is developing the Vy 400 — a high-speed hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft for regional city-center air travel that is three times faster and goes twice as far as battery eVTOLs. The company plans to launch airline service in 2028 using zero-net-carbon sustainable aviation fuel from Prometheus Fuels.
18 prototypes have validated the design. Transcend targets 46+ US city-center pairs where service will be less expensive and five times faster than existing airlines. Key partners: General electric (engines), IAI North America (militarization), KAMAN (manufacturing), US Air Force (development), VerdeGo Aero (hybrid components), Lily Helipads (vertiports), Prometheus Fuels (sustainable fuel).
