After eight years of tackling some of the biggest challenges in aviation, that dream is one step closer. Cora has the potential to transform spaces like rooftops and parking lots into places to take off right from your neighborhood.

Cora is a more ambitious vehicle, with 12 independent rotors capable and has a wingspan of 36 feet and operates via a dozen battery-powered rotors. It takes off like a helicopter and flies like a plane, is 100 percent electric, can fly as fast as 110 mph, has a flying distance of 62 miles, and can carry two passengers.
