    NTU Singapore unveils locally designed and built eVTOL aircraft at Singapore Airshow 2026

    Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has unveiled Singapore’s first locally designed and built full-sized aircraft, an advanced electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) technology demonstrator. This eight-metre wingspan homegrown aircraft prototype, developed over more than three years by researchers and engineers from...

  • Certification remains one of the most critical factors in eVTOL commercialization.

    Key focus areas include:
    • Aircraft safety standards and redundancy
    • Battery performance and thermal management
    • Noise and environmental compliance
    • Harmonization across global regulators

    Clear certification pathways are essential for scalable and saf…Read More

  • eVTOL prototypes are impressive.

    Certification is where the real challenge begins.

    Safety validation, redundancy, and regulatory alignment will ultimately define timelines — not marketing announcements.

    Certification isn’t a hurdle to rush. It’s the foundation of trust.

  • Pilots will play a central role in the initial phase of eVTOL operations.

    Key considerations include:
    • Pilot training and certification pathways
    • Human-machine interface design
    • Gradual transition toward autonomous systems
    • Public and regulatory confidence

    A phased approach to autonomy can support safe and scalable eVTOL adoption.

  • Despite long-term autonomy goals, early eVTOL operations will rely heavily on pilots.

    Human oversight builds trust, supports safety validation, and helps regulators gain confidence.

    Autonomy will come — but pilots will lead the transition.
