The core philosophy of aviation engineering revolves around the fact that every single part within an aircraft should serve a functional purpose and must be engineered for 100 % accuracy and safety. This has been our northstar and guiding principle right from Day 1, when we set out to build the F77. Over the last few years, we have spent endless hours perfecting the F77 across all aspects of design, vehicle engineering, performance, safety, and user experience. The feedback that we have received from this test ride has been overwhelming and we couldn’t be happier that we had the opportunity to interact and learn from a community that we have been deeply inspired by.”

Our design and engineering process has always focused on keeping the rider/consumer as our utmost priority. We have spent the last two years paying attention to the minutest details and creating a product that is futuristic and truly global, in line with our aviation DNA. We are thrilled that we could provide a platform for the pilot community to experience the production ready version of the F77.”
