Deployment

AIR ONE at Kfar Yona, Israel

Two-seat electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft designed for personal aviation and uncrewed cargo logistics. Features a foldable 36-foot wingspan, 550 lb (250 kg) payload capacity, 60-100 mile range, and a top speed of 155 mph (135 knots). Powered by AIR's proprietary [Fly-By-Intent](https://www.airev.aero/air-one) flight control system that translates pilot intent into precise control inputs.

The aircraft is offered in piloted personal and uncrewed cargo variants, with the first production cargo aircraft delivered in December 2025. A full-scale proof-of-concept prototype (N514AX) was destroyed in a post-crash fire near Indiantown, Florida on October 23, 2025 during an NTSB-investigated envelope expansion test flight.
