Vertical Expects Critical Design Review by End of 2026
Critical Design Review expected by 2026 year-end, which establishes the certifiable design baseline for its aircraft and enables the build and test of certification-conforming aircraft. The opening of Vertical's early aircraft production facility in Q3 2026 and its expanded Energy Centre, which will triple battery production capacity over time, in Q4 2026. Development of future production capabilities, including the planned establishment of production facilities in the UK. The retrofit of the Company's latest prototype aircraft for hybrid-electric flight testing in the first half of 2027.
Vertical Aerospace CEO Says 2026 Year-to-Date is Significant Period for Company
Stuart Simpson, CEO of Vertical Aerospace, said: "2026 year-to-date has been one of the most significant periods in Vertical's history. We achieved major flight test milestones, demonstrated our aircraft's maturity through five consecutive days of flying at Farnborough, expanded the ecosystem around the aircraft and strengthened our financial position. Together, these achievements reflect disciplined execution against our certification and commercialisation roadmap. We believe our one-platform strategy gives Vertical a distinct competitive advantage as the advanced air mobility market evolves. By developing electric, hybrid-electric and increasingly autonomous capabilities on a common aircraft platform, we can address a broad range of commercial and defence applications while leveraging a shared certification, manufacturing and operating ecosystem. This approach is designed to shorten development timelines, improve capital efficiency and reduce operating complexity, positioning Vertical to pursue multiple market opportunities and deliver long-term value, as we progress toward commercialisation."
