FlyNow Aviation has developed a distinctive and compact approach to the eCopter . A vehicle with multirotor models, which seeks to predominate in the market. An eVTOL that adopts a configuration of coaxial counter-rotating propellers, allowing it to be classified as an “electric helicopter” under the regulations of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency.
The eCopter proposes safe and effective transportation
FlyNow plans to produce one- and two-passenger versions , as well as a cargo model . All of these models will be based on a common airframe, reducing the need to design and build each variant from scratch.
The objective is to keep costs low and establish a competitive price for the service, in relation to a conventional land taxi. A strategy that seeks to facilitate the certification process, while reducing the complexities of transportation, operating costs and vehicle safety.
Although they do not yet have a flying prototype , the company has successfully completed ground tests with a full-scale, fully equipped model. The company estimates that the three eCopter models will have a range of up to 50 km, with a cruising speed of 130 km/h and a maximum load capacity of 200 Kg.

Commercial production is scheduled to begin in 2026, starting with the cargo model, which is easier to license, followed by individual passenger versions. The company is in talks with potential business partners who could use these aircraft in their air taxi or cargo transportation operations.
