LYTE Aviation to use CRISALION’s Integrity air taxi for ‘last-mile’ transport, as part of new partnership signed at EBACE

LYTE Avi­a­tion has announced a part­ner­ship with CRISALION at this year’s EBACE event, where the com­pa­ny will use CRISALION’s five-seater air taxi Integri­ty for its ‘last-mile’ trans­port oper­a­tions.

LYTE is work­ing on their hybrid-hydro­gen tilt-wing solu­tion, which is hop­ing to oper­ate with­in the next five to years.  Their port­fo­lio includes point-to-point mass tran­sit of 40pax (Sky­Bus), car­go of 4.5 tons (SkyTruck) and 19 prime seats (X‑Prime).

And more recent­ly, it has expand­ed its port­fo­lio to a ‘Tur­boBus’ for Human­i­tar­i­an Aid use cas­es, where the range is dou­bled to up to 2,000km and the speed is increased to 500/h! LYTE will addi­tion­al­ly gen­er­ate busi­ness for air taxis and drones through all these new use cas­es, which they active­ly pro­mote.

Fresh­ta Farzam (CEO & Founder LYTE Avi­a­tion, said:  “We are in the posi­tion today to shape new routes and new col­lab­o­ra­tions the way we see our cus­tomers and future pas­sen­gers will ben­e­fit most from.

And as being the only 40seater eVTOL in the indus­try, also called the Sky­Bus, we can lead the way by ini­ti­at­ing strong ties with 2- to 4‑seater air­taxis and drones (up to 500kg) to take over the last mile for our pas­sen­gers and cus­tomers in the future.

With this col­lab­o­ra­tion with Crisalion Mobil­i­ty air taxi, we are tak­ing UAM and RAM a step fur­ther by pio­neer­ing new routes and busi­ness cas­es in com­bi­na­tion with our region­al range of up to 1.000km and their short range of up to 200km, our large pas­sen­ger capac­i­ty of 40 pax and their more com­pact capac­i­ty of 5pax. And we both offer point-to-point trans­fer, with­out requir­ing a run­way.”
  
CRISALION is a devel­op­er of advanced elec­tric mobil­i­ty solu­tions which are effi­cient, safe and sus­tain­able in the air and on the ground. Cre­at­ed in 2019, the com­pa­ny devel­ops its own inno­v­a­tive tech­nolo­gies to pro­vide solu­tions for Span­ish and inter­na­tion­al mobil­i­ty oper­a­tors.

The com­pa­ny also boasts its own unique patent­ed tech­nol­o­gy, Fly­Free, which max­imis­es air­craft sta­bil­i­ty and safe­ty and has been test­ed suc­cess­ful­ly on Euro­pean test flights.

Óscar Lara, Chief Oper­at­ing Offi­cer at CRISALION, added: “We are excit­ed to work with LYTE Avi­a­tion to analyse and study the inter­faces between their eVTOLs and ours.

“This is anoth­er step for­ward in Crisalion’s com­mit­ment to R&D&I and sus­tain­abil­i­ty in air trans­port and will allow us to adapt to mar­ket needs, as eVTOLs are the future of the indus­try for both short- and long-haul flights.

“A sig­nif­i­cant num­ber of mar­ket play­ers will be involved in the new mobil­i­ty ecosys­tem and it is a priv­i­lege for us to work with LYTE Avi­a­tion.”
