Spain’s Crisalion Mobility to debut at Dubai Airshow with new eVTOL aircraft: INTEGRITY

Spain-based Crisalion Mobil­i­ty, for­mer­ly known as Umiles Next, announced this week it is attend­ing the Dubai Air­show, where it will intro­duce its new eVTOL Air­craft: INTEGRITY, reports a press release. Designed for pas­sen­ger and car­go appli­ca­tions in urban and inter-urban loca­tions, the aircraft’s pri­ma­ry uses include urban air mobil­i­ty, emer­gency med­ical ser­vices, car­go and tourism.

Car­los Pove­da Rey, Founder and CEO of Crisalion Mobil­i­ty, com­ment­ed, “Dubai Air­show is a glob­al plat­form of the lat­est and cut­ting edge devel­op­ments in our indus­try, and we are look­ing for­ward to show­ing vis­i­tors what INTEGRITY can do and how it aligns per­fect­ly with the region’s sus­tain­abil­i­ty pro­grams.”

The first Span­ish as well as one of an ini­tial Euro­pean eVTOLs to com­plete test flights in Europe with a scaled pro­to­type, the release explains, “INTEGRITY was devel­oped using Crisalion’s Fly­Free tech­nol­o­gy, a unique and patent­ed sta­bil­i­ty sys­tem that con­trols the air­craft’s move­ments in all direc­tions.” It con­tin­ues, “Fly­Free pro­vides greater effi­cien­cy, sta­bil­i­ty, reli­a­bil­i­ty and manoeu­vra­bil­i­ty through sophis­ti­cat­ed rotor-con­trol soft­ware that allows max­i­mum con­trol of each propul­sion unit.”

Pove­da con­tin­ued, “Because of Fly­Free, pas­sen­gers get a supe­ri­or, safer, more com­fort­able flight expe­ri­ence, even in adverse weath­er con­di­tions. The tech­nol­o­gy has been suc­cess­ful­ly test­ed since 2019 in indoor flights and since 2022 in out­door flights.”

INTEGRITY is built for a pilot and up to five pas­sen­gers and has been designed for acces­si­bil­i­ty for peo­ple with reduced mobil­i­ty. The release states, “It has a range of 100 km, a cruis­ing speed of 180 kph and a top speed of approx­i­mate­ly 216 kph. As a ful­ly elec­tric air­craft, it is aligned with the sus­tain­abil­i­ty goals of GCC coun­tries, and is sig­nif­i­cant­ly qui­eter than con­ven­tion­al heli­copters, gen­er­at­ing just 45 deci­bels.” Crisalion has raised to date EUR15 mil­lion in fund­ing with anoth­er financ­ing round sched­uled for the first quar­ter of 2024, to be advised by invest­ment bank Blue­Bull.

Pove­da remarked, “We are con­fi­dent that our investors will con­tin­ue to be impressed by our dis­rup­tive tech­nol­o­gy that brings safe, effi­cient, sus­tain­able trans­port solu­tions, both in the air and on the ground.”

Dur­ing the process of rebrand­ing and attract­ing new invest­ment, Crisalion Mobil­i­ty has sig­nif­i­cant­ly grown its team over the last few months, bring­ing onboard expe­ri­enced pro­fes­sion­als like Manuel Here­dia, as Man­ag­ing Direc­tor, Óscar Lara as COO and Gus­ta­vo Rodríguez as CTO. Oth­er appoint­ments are set to be announced soon.

Back­ground

Found­ed in 2019 and for­mer­ly known as UMILES Next, Crisalion Mobil­i­ty has a com­mit­ment to both elec­tric ground and air mobil­i­ty, while devel­op­ing its own inno­v­a­tive tech­nolo­gies like a remote con­trolled sys­tem from a con­trol cen­tre to pro­vide solu­tions for Span­ish and inter­na­tion­al mobil­i­ty oper­a­tors.
