- Company Description
- LIFT Aircraft has developed an electric, vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. WE BELIEVE IN A FUTURE WHERE EVERYONE CAN FLY... and that future is starting right now. You may not believe it yet - but you will. Personal flight is one of humanity's most enduring aspirations, but has historically only been available to a privileged few with the money, time, and skill to fly traditional aircraft. We're making the joy and utility of personal, vertical flight accessible to everyone.
