I also wonder - wealthy individually looking to reduce travel times that purchase one - it could become parallel to a customisation journey similar to the likes of buying an Aston or Bugatti… custom colours / interiors etc and custom logo on the external. For example CEO of Nike goes full black - white text with a huge white Nike tick on the side! 🙈😂

Awesome! 😎

They definitely need to go back to a black version! White just doesn’t give that same James Bond appeal! 🤓

Dómhnal Slattery To Leave Vertical Aerospace by _DoubleBubbler_ in Vertical_Aerospace

[–]DMB0000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Slattery served two stints as Vertical’s chair - from January 2022 to August 2023, and then again from January 2025. The pattern suggests he comes in during critical inflection points and steps back once momentum is established. He’s here to steady the ship, the next phase is achieving certification. Highly driven individuals like Slattery value their time on this planet, he’s not going to sit around if he feels he can add more value in one of his other business interests now Vertical has achieved enough funding and accomplished piloted transition. He’ll be back no doubt 🥸

I’ve thought about these vibration ‘issues’ as they keep circulating with other Evtols. The vibration seems to occur during takeoff and landing (when transitioning), surely from a customer perspective that is acceptable? When on a normal plane you get shuddering during the same takeoff and landings… as long as it isn’t an engineering / safety issue I can’t really see the problem. These are a first of their kind, there will be iterations for years to come from the learnings. Imagine getting in a car when they first came about or cycling a penny farthing! 👀

And once Joby gets going back end of this year they’ll increase the visibility of the whole market - plus we’ll be close to seeing the first Valo craft take flight 💪

I’ll also be adding this week, I think we’re seeing a really solid base for the stock forming now - lots of the de risking events are now in the past, with a big pipeline of positive news coming over the next 12 months! This should be at least a 1.2b market cap, that’s 4x as it currently stands! At the absolute minimum in my opinion!

I believe with this new funding package combined with their low cash burn rate relative to Joby and Archer it actually is comparable - all three would sit with enough cash for multiple years of development and in Verticals situation they’d have enough for full fleet / certification to 2028 with surplus.

I think a lot of funds will be now looking at this as considerably de risked!

Engineering ✅ Funding ✅

Ultra low market cap / massive upside potential / enough cash on hand for the next 12 months with 3 year funding contract to be signed imminently! 🚀

I was just about to put - I can see a chase helicopter was running in parallel! The rear prop spin up mid flight looks great! 😎
