FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Skyfly close new round of funding to expand engineering team and develop new powertrain and hybrid system
Following the successful start to the piloted flight test programme in 2024, Skyfly Technologies has closed its latest round of funding, allowing us to expand our engineering team and develop our new production ready powertrain and hybrid system to improve on existing performance.
The first Axe eVTOL, built throughout 2024, is progressing well through the flight test programme. The new funding will enable Skyfly to develop and implement new technologies for our future aircraft – this will include upgraded batteries, motors and speed controllers as well as development of the hybrid powertrain which Skyfly has identified as being a major benefit to both our civilian and military customers.
“We are delighted to receive follow-on support from existing investors and welcome some fantastic new investors to the Skyfly team. We will be announcing some new hires who are pioneers in electric aviation to complement an already incredibly capable team.”
– Michael Thompson, CEO, Skyfly
Skyfly expects to announce the recruitment of top electric aerospace engineering talent in the coming weeks.
The Axe is available to pre-order via the website: www.skyflytech.com/order.
