Investor presentation summary
9 Sep, 2026Advanced air mobility platform overview
Aircraft designed for passenger experience, operator economics, and mission flexibility, with over 1,500 conditional pre-orders from global aviation customers and an established ecosystem for infrastructure, training, and operations.
Full-scale prototype has completed a piloted flight test campaign under UK CAA oversight, demonstrating engineering maturity and repeatability at public events.
Certification pathway targets UK CAA/EASA approval by 2029, with subsequent validation in the US, Japan, and other markets, leveraging published SC-VTOL standards.
Versatile airframe supports electric, hybrid-electric, defense, and autonomous missions, expanding addressable markets beyond urban air mobility.
Capital-efficient OEM model enabled by world-class aerospace partners, with recurring revenue from battery replacements and upgrades.
Aircraft features and operator value
Valo offers four to six passenger configurations, dedicated pilot compartment, and significant luggage capacity, optimizing both passenger experience and operator economics.
Up to six revenue seats per flight increase revenue by 50%, reduce cost per seat mile by 30%, and expand gross margins compared to four-passenger eVTOLs.
Designed to the highest commercial aviation safety standards, with a published certification basis and enhanced safety objectives.
Platform flexibility allows for battery-electric and hybrid-electric variants, supporting a range of commercial, public service, and defense missions.
Hybrid-electric roadmap extends range up to 1,000 miles and increases payload, targeting defense, logistics, and autonomous applications.
Market validation and ecosystem
Over 1,500 conditional pre-orders from major airlines and lessors, providing early demand validation and multiple routes to market.
Partners are building the necessary infrastructure, including vertiports, charging, training, and maintenance, to support large-scale deployment.
Tier-one aerospace suppliers contribute certified components, scalable manufacturing, and global support, facilitating certification and industrialization.
Shared aircraft architecture reduces time, cost, and risk for entering new markets, serving both commercial and defense customers.
Battery technology leadership enables recurring revenue through replacements, upgrades, and second-life applications beyond aviation.
