Zuri Hybrid VTOL
@zurivtol.bsky.social
Start Vertically. Go Beyond. Hybrid electric VTOL aircraft that lift off closer to you and span 700 km on a single hop. Up to 80% less lifecycle CO₂ when flown on SAF. Passenger, cargo and med evac missions coming.
We'll be at eVTOL Show Europe in Stuttgart, sharing updates from our hybrid VTOL development work focused on regional air mobility.
We're developing a second technology demonstrator and will have a tiltrotor prototype on display.
Our founder and CEO, Michal Illich, is speaking at the event.

Expanding major airports doesn’t fix regional mobility. It just makes hubs bigger.
What we're seeing instead is a structural gap.
Traffic concentrates in one hub.
Time is lost on the ground.
Large parts of the country remain underserved.

How big is Zuri Technology Demonstrator 2.0?
A top view comparing TD 2.0 with the planned full-scale Zuri Hybrid VTOL. TD 2.0 is a geometrically scaled, configuration-representative aircraft built to validate the core design, architecture and flight behaviors under real flight load.

We opened our R&D workshop for Zuri Family Day and shared the work behind our hybrid VTOL with the people who support our teams every day. Seeing families fly Zuri in VR, explore the demonstrator, and add their own colors to the aircraft was a good reminder of why this matters.

Prague Airport moves in predictable waves of congestion and calm.
Mornings and evenings bring the same rush of traffic, queues, and waits. You fly when the schedule allows, not when it suits you.
Regional air mobility offers travel that fits how people want to move today.
