Vertical Aerospace: UK's Next Major Global Exporter? | Aerospace News

Vertical Aerospace could become the UK’s next major global exporter, according to a new Frontier Economics report. The eVTOL aircraft developer is projected to generate £3 billion annually in UK economic value by 2035, create over 2,000 jobs, and produce nearly £9 billion in annual revenue. With approximately 90% of income from exports, Vertical Aerospace represents a significant industrial opportunity for advanced manufacturing. The company recently entered final flight-test phase after receiving UK Civil Aviation Authority approval, positioning it as a critical anchor in the fast-growing electric aviation sector.
