The company's Chairman, Dónal Slattery, set the tone for the call by highlighting the excitement and enthusiasm surrounding their flagship product, Valo.
"Could the answer to Atlanta's traffic headaches soon be flying above us?" Slattery asked, as he stood in front of a sleek electric aircraft that could revolutionize the way people get around cities. This was not just a clever marketing ploy; it reflected the growing demand for safe, quiet, and zero-emissions urban air mobility solutions.
Valo, Vertical Aerospace's latest vertical take-off and landing aircraft, has been gaining significant attention from investors, regulators, suppliers, and the broader advanced air mobility ecosystem. The company's showcase events in London, New York, Miami, and Atlanta have demonstrated a clear understanding of the market's readiness for this innovative technology.

This technological advancement is crucial for the successful certification of their products.
Stuart Simpson also emphasized the importance of capital raising, with cash being critical through certification. Despite annual spend being a fraction of their peers, Vertical Aerospace will need to continue to raise capital, exploring all available options across the capital markets, strategics, and government support.
