It's A Match -- Nexus eVTOL Demonstrator Comes Together

Nexus Full-Scale Technology Demonstrator Should Fly Next Year

Textron has successfully connected the two halves of the fuselage of its electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL), Nexus, full-scale technology demonstrator. This significant milestone involves joining the central sections of the aircraft that are designed to seat passengers.

“Since the formation of Textron eAviation, the team has been focused on vehicle design, performance confirmation and the build of our first full-scale technology demonstrator to test the control and functionality of the aircraft,” said Kriya Shortt, president & CEO, Textron eAviation. “It is rewarding to see the vehicle begin to take shape, and achieving fuselage assembly on the demonstrator is a major step in the aircraft’s development.”

The fuselage assembly milestone supports the demonstrator’s first flight expected next year.

The Nexus is being designed to meet the world's need for sustainable aviation alternatives that can perform a variety of missions. Performing the roles of air taxi, cargo carrier, air ambulance and more, Nexus eVTOL vehicles will make carbon-neutral flights possible in the modern airspace. Designed for one pilot and four passengers, the zero-emission aircraft will be powered by a distributed electric propulsion system. Nexus’s four tilting propellers and two aft stationary vertical rotors are designed to facilitate multiple applications, including passenger transport, public aircraft operations and cargo.
