The VX4 is claimed to be a piloted, zero emissions electric Vertical Take Off and Landing (eVTOL) vehicle. The VX4 is claimed to be capable of travelling over 200 mph (320 km/h), with a range of over 100 miles (161 km) and capacity for 4 passengers, and a pilot. The proposed aircraft is intended to operate in and out of cities and other confined locations, The VX4 is claimed to be 100x quieter and safer than a helicopter.

It would rely on its fixed wing for lift during most of flight. This shift follows a broader move across the eVTOL industry towards wing-borne lift + cruise and vectored thrust concepts, due to the efficiency gains wing-borne lift offers during the cruise portion of flight.

Vertical Aerospace is a British aerospace manufacturer based in Bristol, England that designs and builds zero carbon, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) electrically powered aircraft.
