UK based start-up Vertical Aerospace has unveiled as well as tested the nation’s first electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) drone-style aircraft.

The aircraft further features a range of 150 km and a maximum speed of 300 kmph (200mph).
The Vertical Aerospace is the first company in the UK to test an eVTOL vehicle that could even be used in congested air corridors as it doesn’t require a runway.
