# Vertical Aerospace Announces Breakthrough Regulatory Milestone as UK CAA Sets Clear Pathway for Commercial eVTOL Flights by 2028

> Vertical Aerospace Ltd. supports the UK CAA's eVTOL Delivery Model, establishing a regulatory framework for commercial eVTOL operations in the UK by 2028. The model aligns with global safety standards and allows for day and night operations, contingent on pilot and aircraft qualifications. The company aims to certify its VX4 aircraft for commercial use by 2028, collaborating with the CAA and industry partners on rulemaking and infrastructure.

Vertical Aerospace Ltd. has announced its support for the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) newly published eVTOL Delivery Model, which establishes the regulatory framework for commercial electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft operations in the UK starting from 2028. The framework reaffirms SC-VTOL as the certification basis, aligning with the highest global safety standards and EASA’s guidelines. Vertical Aerospace highlighted that the model allows both day and night visual and instrument flight rule operations from the outset, provided aircraft and pilots are qualified. The company is actively engaged with the CAA and industry partners to shape rulemaking and infrastructure, with the goal of certifying its VX4 aircraft for commercial use by 2028. These results and plans have already been presented by Vertical Aerospace and the CAA. Disclaimer: This news brief was created by Public Technologies (PUBT) using generative artificial intelligence.
