Vertice Motor Company designs, certifies, builds, and sells eVTOL aircraft — zero-emission, point-to-point urban air mobility for the cities of tomorrow.
Every system in our aircraft was built to solve the hardest problems in urban air mobility — safety redundancy, acoustic limits, range, and high-cycle commercial operations.
Eight independently controlled rotors provide triple-redundant lift. Any two motors can fail simultaneously with full aircraft recovery — our core safety premise.
Onboard flight computers run real-time sensor fusion at 500 Hz, balancing thrust across all lift units and compensating for wind shear in under 2ms.
Full structural weight under 320 kg via a proprietary carbon-epoxy layup process. Our payload fraction of 38% is among the highest in class.
Variable-pitch rotors operating below 65 dB at 150m altitude — quieter than urban ambient noise levels — enabling operations over dense residential areas.
Proprietary cell management system enables 80% charge in under 12 minutes, targeting 8–10 commercial cycles per aircraft per day without thermal degradation.
Aircraft designed from day one in accordance with FAA Special Class (§21.17(b)) and EASA SC-VTOL standards. G-1 issue paper filed Q4 2024.
The standard 4-passenger commercial variant designed for urban air taxi and regional shuttle operations. Certified for single-pilot and autonomous flight modes.
The VMC-1 platform supports multiple commercial verticals through modular interior configurations and software-defined operating modes.
On-demand point-to-point city travel. Replace a 45-minute highway commute with an 8-minute aerial route.
Target fare: ~$3/mile at scale · 8–12 min avg flight
Fixed-route inter-airport and downtown-to-airport corridors. Scheduled departures, vertiport-to-vertiport.
Target market: Top 50 U.S. airports · $180 avg ticket
MediVac-configured variant enables rapid organ transport and critical patient transfer without traffic delays.
Response time reduction: ~70% vs ground · LOI signed with 2 hospital networks
High-value, time-sensitive freight moved without road infrastructure — pharma cold chain, industrial parts, overnight express.
Payload: 480 kg cargo variant · 2027 commercial launch
Urban air mobility is transitioning from concept to commercialization. Multiple independent analysts project a $1T+ global UAM market by 2040, driven by infrastructure investment, regulatory progress, and consumer demand for time.

★ Vertice Motor Company. Competitive data compiled from public filings and press releases. Subject to change.
Series A funding bridges from successful prototype flight validation to FAA type certification and first commercial route launch. Every milestone ahead is fully funded by this raise.
Our founding team brings together decades of experience from Joby Aviation, NASA, Boeing, and SpaceX — the people who have actually certified novel aircraft and scaled manufacturing.
Former VP of Aircraft Systems at Joby Aviation. 18 years in eVTOL and rotorcraft design. Led FAA certification of two novel rotorcraft programs. MIT Aero/Astro '04.
PhD Aerospace Engineering, MIT. 11 years at NASA Langley leading electric propulsion integration programs. 14 patents in distributed propulsion and flight control.
Former Boeing 787 chief systems engineer. 220+ patents in avionics, fly-by-wire architecture, and redundant control systems. Led DO-178C software certification on three programs.
Previously CFO at two aerospace-adjacent Series B companies, successfully closing $310M in combined equity raises. 12 years in venture finance; CFA charterholder.
Former FAA Aircraft Certification Service senior engineer, 14 years. Deep relationships with DFW and ATL ACOs. Led §21.17(b) special class certification for two programs.
Former director of route development at United Airlines. Architected 40+ new route launches and managed a $2.4B fleet acquisition program. MBA, Wharton.
Coverage from leading aviation, technology, and business media as Vertice advances toward commercial launch.
We are raising $40M to fund FAA type certification, production engineering, and commercial launch operations in two U.S. metro markets. Prior funding includes a $6M seed from aviation-focused family offices and strategic angels.
Use of proceeds: 55% certification & engineering, 25% manufacturing setup, 12% commercial operations, 8% working capital.
