OEM OVERVIEW<br />
Vertaxi<br />
Mainland China | Founded in 2021<br />
Vertaxi was founded in April 2021, with a presence in the Yangtze River Delta and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The<br />
company’s vision is to “let everyone enjoy the future of urban air travel.” Vertaxi follows the strategic path of “cargo first, then passenger”<br />
and “segregated from the national airspace system first, then integrated into it.” The company plans to first obtain certification for its cargo<br />
version, accumulate operational information, and then launch the passenger-grade version. Vertaxi's subsidiary, FCOURIER, has developed<br />
and manufactured the E6, E4, and other small to mid-size unmanned fixed wing eVTOLs that have entered the market.<br />
