futuristic 'volar' eVTOL by bellwether takes to the skies in first flight test

the UK company hasn’t yet released the full spec for the first volar prototype—named ‘antelope’—but we do know it’s designed for private use and features a compact profile for agile intracity travel. we also know that the propulsion system that powers the vertical take-off & landing is hidden underneath the aircraft’s sci-fi-esque body. and from the renders, it looks like the eVTOL seats just one passenger.

so far, bellwether industries has showcased its ‘antelope’ prototype at dubai airshow 2021, the droneX tradeshow in london, and the AIRTAXI world congress, but this new test flight footage gives us a closer glimpse at how the eVTOL will actually fly.

the company says, ‘we believe that people commuting in the sky is inevitable within the next 10 years. therefore, we create a volar for anyone to fly anytime and anywhere to any point. the ultimate goal of bellwether industries is to build a brand new 3-dimensional lifestyle and to lead the world toward a more comprehensive urban mobility.’
