FIA2024: CRISALION Mobility Enters Australian Aviation Market “with Pre-Order of 100 Integrity eVTOL Aircraft from Wilbur Air”

CRISALION Mobil­i­ty, a Span­ish com­pa­ny devel­op­ing elec­tric mobil­i­ty solu­tions, announced this week an agree­ment with Wilbur Air for a pre-order of 100 Integri­ty Air­craft, reports a press release.

Signed at the Farn­bor­ough Inter­na­tion­al Air­show (FIA), this accord “rep­re­sents a key mile­stone in Australia’s sus­tain­able avi­a­tion jour­ney, embed­ding zero emis­sions air­craft into the future of its trans­port infra­struc­ture,” explains the release. “The part­ner­ship also sig­ni­fies CRISALION’s first com­mer­cial agree­ment with­in the Aus­tralian mar­ket.”

The company’s eVTOL, cur­rent­ly in devel­op­ment, is designed to accom­mo­date up to five pas­sen­gers and a pilot. Built for urban and inter-city trans­port, the air­craft will serve a vari­ety of pur­pos­es includ­ing car­go, urban mobil­i­ty, emer­gency ser­vices and tourism mis­sions. It is expect­ed to trav­el 130km at cruis­ing speeds of 180km/h, with a 400kg pay­load, while pro­duc­ing min­i­mal noise.

Car­los Pove­da, Founder and CEO of CRISALION Mobil­i­ty, com­ment­ed, “We are delight­ed to part­ner with one of Australia’s fore­most AAM pio­neers. Togeth­er, we will devel­op an urban mobil­i­ty solu­tion that will trans­form cities and lives across the coun­try.”

Clem New­ton-Brown, CEO of Wilbur Air, added, “We are very excit­ed about the prospect of hav­ing CRISALION Mobil­i­ty’s eVTOLs oper­at­ing out of our ver­ti­ports under the Wilbur Air brand.”

The release con­tin­ues, “Integri­ty fea­tures CRISALION’s Fly­Free tech­nol­o­gy, a patent­ed propul­sion sys­tem allow­ing con­trol of the aircraft’s move­ments in all direc­tions. The advanced sys­tem fea­tures 16 motors, arranged in two arms on each side of the air­craft. Each arm can inde­pen­dent­ly adjust its thrust vec­tor in both pitch and roll, using the dif­fer­en­tial thrust of the motors.”

And goes on, “Sup­port­ed by sophis­ti­cat­ed con­trol tech­nol­o­gy and ded­i­cat­ed rotor design for aero­dy­nam­ic effi­cien­cy, sta­bil­i­ty, pre­ci­sion and cab­in con­trol, the sys­tem enables a supe­ri­or pas­sen­ger expe­ri­ence. Sig­nif­i­cant invest­ments in engi­neer­ing and flight test­ing have been cru­cial to the suc­cess of Fly­Free.”
