With a vehicle that never flies higher than a few meters off the water, we unlock the ability to fly twice as far as an electric aircraft, and certification by maritime authorities which will let us fly first passengers by mid-decade.

We have over $9B in provisional orders from some of the industry's largest operators and are hitting the ground running.
