Axe
Two-seat electric winged eVTOL. Skyfly says it hovers on eight fixed-angle motors and cruises on the wing.
Prototype
- Price / deposit
- June 24, 2022 launch release: base price £150,000 ($180,000). AOPA's July 6, 2022 report states a base price of $180,000. Skyfly's order page: a refundable 10% deposit of £29,500+VAT ($40,000) secures a build slot, and a reservation fee of £1,000 ($1,500) does not obligate a purchase. The order page does not state a full current price. This entry does not calculate one.
- Certification, as written on the tracker
- Pursuing FAA light-sport certification under MOSAIC, which Skyfly says came into force in July 2026. Not certified. Experimental flight permits in the UK and the US are not type certificates. Aviation Week's opening describes an aim of FAA Part 22 approval as a light-sport aircraft; that is not an issued certificate.
- Delivery / launch
- First customer deliveries planned for 2027 (company target, October 20, 2026 release). The order page estimates delivery beginning in 2027. The June 24, 2022 launch said the first aircraft would be delivered to customers in 2024. Skyfly says 61 private customers are on the order book and does not say they are firm. The order page says the deposit that secures a build slot is refundable.

Funding round Firm |
$10 million |
Skyfly Technologies said on October 20, 2026 that it had closed a $10 million seed round led by HICO Investment Group, with participation from Archangel. Skyfly says the funds are to complete FAA light-sport certification of the Axe under the MOSAIC rules, scale production in the UK and the US, and accelerate the Longbow hybrid-electric uncrewed aircraft. Light-sport certification is not described as complete and is not a type certificate. Aviation Week's visible opening says the round is planned to take the Axe through FAA Part 22 approval as a light-sport aircraft. The rest of that article did not load. This row does not treat Part 22 as an issued certificate. |
