ARC Aerosystems and AirMobility have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to accelerate the deployment of ARC’s manned and unmanned VTOL aircraft in the Japanese and Asia-Pacific markets.

Many countries are currently developing, testing and certifying electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL), with ARC’s aircraft selection including the Pegasus P3. This eVTOL has many advantages, such as reduced power consumption and maintenance costs, as well as improved safety.

Excluding helicopters, the Pegasus P3 is thought to be the first VTOL aircraft to achieve full type certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), authorizing its commercial operation within the United States.

AirMobility and ARC are specifically exploring the use of Pegasus P3 for emergency medical purposes in Japan.

Seyed Mohseni, ARC CEO, stated, “This partnership gives us an exciting opportunity to deploy our aircraft in one of the most advanced and innovation-friendly aviation markets in the world.”

Hisashi Asai, President of AirMobility, added, “ARC brings proven and certifiable high performance aircraft capability to Japan’s growing AAM ecosystem. Together, we aim to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainable mobility solutions across the region.”

ARC Aerosystems have also developed the C-600 unmanned aerial vehicle. This is the largest in Europe, with a wingspan of over 8 meters (26 feet), maximum payload of 100 kilograms (220 pounds), and maximum range of 400 kilometers (250 miles). Similarly, ARC’s C150 has a maximum payload of 20 kilograms (44 pounds) and a top range of 400 kilometers (250 miles).
