ARC readies half-scale E-STARLING for September Maiden Sortie

UK start-up Samad Aerospace is preparing a 50% scale model of its e-Starling hybrid-electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for flight testing in early September, the next major milestone in the development of the six-seat composite air taxi, which is scheduled for certification and service entry in 2025.

ARC E-STARLING JET

The Samad Aerospace e-Starling Jet is a Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) electric jet that will carry passengers on regional and short-haul flights.

A newly unveiled business jet can take off like a helicopter

Business jets are typically regarded as an indulgence of the global elite, but a just-unveiled entrant to the sector shows there’s more to the industry.

Starling Jet is billed as the world’s first hybrid-electric business aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing (like a helicopter). In addition to serving high-net worth individuals, the planes can be used for disaster recovery and function as an ambulance.

STARLING JET comes in 3 sizes

The Starling Jet now joins electric or hybrid flying commuter craft from sources all over the world. A Middle-East backed, London-based project, the Starling Jet is swoopy and high-winged, and comes in three sizes with different missions.
