Reasons to Invest


  • Leading the urban air mobility revolution.  After 4 years of development, 1,000+ test flights, and over $18M in funding, our electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, HEXA, is approved to fly under FAA Part 103 - costly FAA certification is not required. In a market estimated to reach $1 trillion by 2040, HEXA is one of the first eVTOL aircraft to enter production. 


  • Massive customer demand. Our upcoming sold-out nationwide tour has 4,000 prepaid flight reservations and an additional 11,000 waitlist requests, demonstrating tremendous consumer demand to fly HEXA. Partners have signed pre-order non-binding LOIs for over 100 aircraft.* The United States Air Force (USAF) has expanded flight testing of HEXA under a Phase III SBIR contract as LIFT works towards becoming a US Military program of record.


  • One of the world’s first vertiport networks. LIFT has received FAA approval to launch one of the first eVTOL vertiports in the world, where anyone will be able to fly HEXA with less than an hour of training - no pilot’s license required. While others seek certification for more complex eVTOL designs, LIFT plans to launch in up to 28 markets by 2025, building what we believe would be the largest global network of vertiports. 


* Letters of intent do not create an obligation on the part of the customer to purchase an aircraft. Some or all customers might not transition to non-refundable purchase contracts until prior to aircraft delivery, if at all.  Aircraft customers might respond to weak economic conditions by canceling orders, resulting in lower demand for our aircraft and other materials, such as parts, or services, such as training, which the company expects to generate revenue. Such events would have a material adverse effect on LIFT’s financial results.



overview


The future of transportation is vertical and accessible to all 


LIFT Aircraft Inc. is in the pre-commercial stage where they are producing aircraft and conducting safety testing. Currently, the Company has not launched any flights for customers.


“It’s just a really cool feeling. I felt safe” - Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes



Flights in LIFT's HEXA aircraft shown in video are not yet available to the general market.


Why now? For decades, science fiction has promised us “flying cars”, and many have tried and failed to develop them. However, recent advancements in technologies developed for small drones have made it possible to design a safe, simple, and inexpensive multi-rotor drone capable of human flight.  




Why LIFT? Founded in November 2017, LIFT Aircraft leverages distributed electric propulsion (DEP) technology, autonomous “fly-by-wire” flight control systems, and our patented design for HEXA, a personal drone that anyone can fly. With LIFT, electric vertical flight is possible at 1/10th the cost of a helicopter, with zero CO2 emissions.

the problem


Ground transportation is broken, yet air transportation in urban areas remains inaccessible to most  



LIFT's HEXA aircraft shown in this video are prototypes not yet available to the general market.


The average American spends 54 hours stuck in traffic each year nearly 7 full working days - resulting in ~3.3 billion gallons of wasted fuel and $179 billion in lost productivity. 85% of these trips are fewer than 15 miles and 90% are single-occupant.  



Traditional helicopters are an airborne alternative, but they require extensive training, produce extreme levels of noise and are incredibly expensive to buy, operate, and maintain. This makes vertical flight inaccessible to all but the wealthiest individuals and severely limits use by public agencies for emergency response. Further, commercial aviation contributes 2.4% of the world’s carbon emissions. In 2019, that was 905 million tons of CO2


We believe these trips are, instead, best served by point-to-point flights in personal scale, hover-optimized eVTOL aircraft capable of taking off and landing virtually anywhere.

the solution


Introducing HEXA: So simple to fly you don’t even need a pilot’s license 


LIFT Aircraft makes flying so simple and inexpensive that almost anyone can experience the joy, freedom, and utility of personal, vertical flight. Our first aircraft, HEXA, is an electric, vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft; a single-seat, hover-optimized, semi-autonomous personal aerial vehicle. 


2022 Austin, TX -  Manned public flight demonstration at SXSW


HEXA was purpose-built for aerial micro-mobility. Because the vast majority of car trips are <15 miles, we designed HEXA to be the safest possible aircraft for short range flights. We chose a hover-optimized design for enhanced levels of maneuverability, wind resilience, and redundancy. 


While some eVTOL developers have winged aircraft capable of longer range flight, we determined the incremental time savings achieved with wings are not worth the tradeoffs in safety and hover performance for short range flights. Capable of speeds up to 90 mph, HEXA can fly up to 15 miles in 10 minutes.*


*Performance testing ongoing. Part 103 operations airspeed limited to 62 mph. Public use allows for max performance. 



HEXA was designed for safety, with multiple redundancies and failsafes. 


HEXA safety features


While conventional aircraft parachutes require hundreds of feet of altitude, HEXA’s whole-aircraft ballistic parachute deploys autonomously and is effective as low as 40 feet above ground level.


 HEXA's autonomous whole-aircraft parachute system


While ultralights are not certified by the FAA, we are working closely with the US Air Force on safety and airworthiness, as well as our safety board, which includes the former Chief of Aviation Safety at NASA, Dr. Charles Justiz.



LIFT Aircraft has a fundamentally unique strategy in the emerging eVTOL industry, using the FAA’s Part 103 “Ultralight” rules to develop an aircraft that can be rented to and piloted by anyone, with no pilot’s license or FAA certification required.


Rather than selling HEXA to end-users, LIFT is developing “vertiport” locations where anyone can rent and fly HEXA in a scenic, controlled environment within geospatially mapped and geofenced flight areas. In case of emergency, LIFT mission control can remotely take over and land the aircraft.


The end-to-end flying experience will include training in our VR flight simulator with a dedicated flight instructor.

We have begun testing the flight experience with industry experts.

HEXA is modular by design, with the powertrain, flight control system, and ballistic parachute all located in the top rotor assembly.

Aircraft platform allows for swapping any payload and landing gear. LIFT's HEXA aircraft shown in this video are prototypes not yet available to the general market


The cabin and landing gear can be swapped with any payload, enabling a variety of manned and unmanned applications, including heavy lift cargo, fire response, and medical evacuation.


Prospective public agency use of various HEXA modular configurations (digital renderings).

When flown for recreation, ultralights are limited to daytime flight over uncongested areas. However, when operated by federal, state, or local government agencies, ultralights can be flown without these limitations (Part 91 rules: flight over cities and congested areas is already permitted).


the market


The Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market is projected to reach $1 trillion by 2040




The emerging UAM market is predicted to be worth $104 billion in 2023 and $1 trillion by 2040. Our beach-head strategy is to first target markets that don’t require time-consuming aircraft certification or breakthroughs in battery technology for viability. These markets include experiential entertainment (projected to reach $12 billion by 2023), first response ($75 billion in 2020the company estimates), and military ($57 billion in 2020).


Public market investors are recognizing the urban air mobility opportunity, as evidenced by recent public listings, such as Joby Aviation (JOBY), Archer (ACHR), EHang (EH), Vertical Aerospace (EVTL), Eve Urban Air Mobility (EVEX), and Lilium (LILM). These companies are also developing eVTOL aircraft and related services, and despite being in the early stages of commercialization, have market capitalizations ranging from around $400M to greater than $3B as of July 2022.

our traction


Ramping HEXA production 


LIFT is ramping production of HEXA with over 12 production aircraft to date.



Assembled in the US under partnership with Qarbon Aerospace (an AS9100 and ISO 9001:2015 certified Tier-1 aerospace supplier that manufactures components for the V-22, F-35, and Boeing 767), we are ramping to produce 15 aircraft by the end of 2022.


Significant Backing from the US Air Force

We’ve already received an initial unmanned Military Flight Release for testing with the Department of Defense and have been awarded a contract for in-kind support with leading experts in testing, certification, and safety at the Air Force Research Lab. LIFT personnel are flight testing HEXA at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida under an ongoing Phase III contract. After a recent $1.9M contract extension and expansion, we are also in the process of activating a second aircraft.



Testing at Eglin Air Force Base under a Phase III contract will expand HEXA’s flight envelope to go higher, faster, and farther.


Sold-out 25-City Nationwide Tour


We’ve announced plans to launch a nationwide tour when our beta test flights are complete, taking HEXA to various sites across the country for people to fly. With more than 4,000 prepaid flight reservations and an additional 11,000 waitlist requests, we’ve seen enormous interest in our upcoming sold-out tour. We recently had the honor of flying Anderson Cooper as our first Alpha pilot as we work towards offering everyone the chance to fly HEXA.

Flights in LIFT's HEXA aircraft shown in video are not yet available to the general market.

International Partnerships


Along with building its own domestic vertiports, LIFT has developed international partnerships with local operators to roll out HEXA flight operations around the world. LIFT has signed an MOU with an international vertiport operator, who has the option to launch 10 LIFT locations and order a fleet of up to 100 HEXAs. Lastly, LIFT has also delivered two HEXAs for testing at a major development project in the Middle East.

WHY INVEST


Defensible business model with minimal regulatory barriers 


HEXA is approved to fly in the US under FAR Part 103, which allows us to launch pay-per-flight operations for daytime, fair weather (Visual Flight Rules), recreational flying over non-congested areas in uncontrolled airspace by anyone, with no pilot’s license required. HEXA can also be flown by public agencies today for military, public safety, firefighting, and emergency medical response without any limitations.


By leveraging this unique regulatory niche, we’re able to start flying now. We expect to be first to market with our nationwide tour and one of the first eVTOL vertiports in the US.


Architectural rendering of a LIFT vertiport. Actual vertiport design subject to revision.


LIFT has signed LOIs with partners to develop LIFT flight locations in two of the top 10 tourist destination cities in the world. At our vertiports, we plan to offer introductory flights at a $249 price point per 8-15 minute flight and also offer memberships for pilots who want to fly more frequently, bringing the price down to as low as $49 per flight. Each aircraft in our fleet is expected to generate up to $1.3M per year in revenue.




Over the next 5 years, we plan to open up to 28 LIFT vertiport locations in 5 or more US metros. We will begin with flight over uncongested areas, starting with one location and expanding to enable point-to-point flights. 


Within 5 to 7 years, we plan to introduce a certified aircraft that will enable flight over congested areas, allowing us to expand our network to enable intra-urban transport. Our long-term goal is to enable private ownership of aircraft, allowing individuals to fly door-to-door, from their home to their destination.



Within the same timeframe, we aim to provide our defense, EMS, fire, and law enforcement customers with the means to advance their missions and more quickly respond to emergency situations. Our USAF Phase III contract is enabling us to advance HEXA’s capabilities for military use as we work towards selling HEXAs to the US Department of Defense.


We believe that LIFT Aircraft has the right strategy, technology, and team to lead in the emerging urban air mobility market. Now you can invest in the company that’s making the joy and utility of personal, vertical flight accessible to everyone - exclusively through StartEngine.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
