AIR's Strategic Partnership with EDAG Group: A New Era in Accessible Air Mobility

A Major Milestone in the Journey to Accessible Air Mobility

AIR is proud to announce a strategic partnership with EDAG Group, one of the world’s most respected independent engineering firms. This collaboration is vital in manufacturing the main aircraft structure for our production AIR ONE models. It marks a pivotal moment for AIR as we ramp up assembly and move toward commercial deliveries of both our manned and unmanned eVTOL variants.

The Future Takes Shape

EDAG has already delivered the first production frames to AIR’s facilities. This enables full-scale assembly of AIR ONE. The new structure supports several key upgrades, including:

• Folding wing and motor arms for streamlined storage and transport.

• Expanded cabin space for greater passenger comfort.

• Modular design for dual-use functionality: manned personal flight and unmanned cargo logistics.

• 70 cubic feet of cargo capacity, allowing for the transport of everything from stretchers to pallets.

  
  

Crafted primarily from lightweight aluminum, this frame offers the perfect balance of strength and performance. It is specifically designed to meet the diverse demands of both private pilots and enterprise customers.

Bringing Automotive Efficiency to eVTOL Manufacturing

"Partnering with an industry trailblazer like EDAG, who has worked with some of the world's most recognizable brands, is a testament to our vision of bringing the automotive world into aviation," said Rani Plaut, CEO and co-founder of AIR. "With EDAG’s expertise in vehicle design and production, we’re enabling efficient, scalable manufacturing to meet growing demand for accessible air transportation."

EDAG brings decades of experience in developing high-performance mobility platforms. Their involvement ensures that AIR ONE benefits from proven processes. This includes quality control, repeatability, and precision engineering—elements that are crucial for scaling advanced air mobility technologies.

“Collaborating with AIR on the AIR ONE is a significant step in our expansion into the eVTOL space,” said Harald Keller, CEO at EDAG. “The AIR ONE's innovative frame exemplifies our commitment to scalable, high-performance design."

Full Speed Ahead

This partnership comes on the heels of a landmark year for AIR. We’ve:

• Doubled our team size.

• Expanded into unmanned logistics with our cargo variant.

• Built substantial flight test hours across multiple prototypes.

• Secured over 2,400 preorders for the piloted AIR ONE.

• Delivered our first cargo prototype unit ahead of schedule.

  
  

With final certification and first deliveries of the AIR ONE on the horizon, this new production capability ensures we’re ready to meet the rising demand from personal aviation enthusiasts and enterprise logistics operators alike.

The Path Forward: What Lies Ahead for AIR

AIR is on a mission to redefine air transportation. The integration of advanced technology into our aircraft is a game-changer. We are making reliable air mobility possible for everyone. "The future of flight is getting closer every day," as we continue to innovate and refine our designs.

Our focus is on building a transportation solution that not only meets regulatory standards but also exceeds customer expectations. We are preparing to enter an era where flying can be as routine as taking a bus or a train. We aim to democratize aviation by making it accessible for everyday use.

Advancements in Technology and Design

We are actively incorporating cutting-edge technology into our production. Innovations in materials and aerodynamics allow us to push the boundaries of what eVTOL can achieve. With our collaboration with EDAG, we expect to harness their engineering prowess to enhance our designs continually.

Additionally, the AIR ONE will integrate smart technologies. This includes real-time data analytics and flight management systems that will enhance safety and efficiency. We envision a future where every flight is supported by the best technology available.

Conclusion

AIR’s vision of everyday flight is no longer just an idea; it’s in production. We are excited about the future and the possibilities that lie ahead. With our partnership with EDAG, we are on track to deliver a revolutionary aircraft that meets the needs of modern transportation.

Stay tuned. Whether you are looking to move people or payloads, day or night, AIR is ready to take you there.
