You are invited to the public opening of Air One – the world’s first fully operational Urban-Air Port for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and drone technology, to be held at Coventry, the 2021 UK City of Culture.
Selected for its important geographic location within the UK and its history of automobile and aerospace innovation, Coventry represents the ideal venue for showcasing the future of mobility. We’ve collaborated with local partners to ensure this project paves the way for new transportation developments as the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) industry takes flight. Join us in Coventry to celebrate this milestone achievement and envision a new era of mobility.

Supernal SA-1 eVTOL
“Cleaner, inter-city flight technology is vital not only to reducing emissions, but to better connecting remote communities, from small towns in the UK to isolated settlements all around the world. As we build back greener from the pandemic, initiatives like the government-backed Air One project will help us develop the infrastructure needed to make our dreams of flying taxis a reality.”
