REASONS TO INVEST

Our electric, vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, HEXA, has completed beginner flight envelope testing, has been qualified as compliant with FAA Part 103, and is approved to fly without a pilot’s license. We’ve already produced a fleet of 16 HEXAs and are ready to launch the world’s first eVTOL services with plans to enter up to 28 markets by 2026.

Including our oversubscribed $5M RegCF on StartEngine last year, we’ve already raised over $18M in funding in an urban air mobility market estimated to reach $1 trillion by 2040*. More than 15,000 people have already signed up to fly HEXA in our sold-out, nationwide tour, and partners have signed non-binding pre-order LOIs for over 300 aircraft - representing over $150M in potential sales.**

LIFT has received extraordinary media coverage, including TechCrunch, The Washington Post, CNBC, The Today Show, and a 60 Minutes feature with Anderson Cooper piloting HEXA.

** 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.


Flights in LIFT’s HEXA aircraft are in Beta testing and are not yet available to the general public.


THE PITCH


A Future Where Everyone Can Fly


For decades, science fiction has promised us “flying cars.” Recent technological advancements have made it possible to design a safe, simple, and inexpensive multi-rotor drone capable of human flight.  



Flights in LIFT’s HEXA aircraft are in Beta testing and are not yet available to the general public.


LIFT Aircraft leverages distributed electric propulsion (DEP) technology, autonomous “fly-by-wire” flight control systems, and our patented design for HEXA, a personal drone anyone can fly for 1/10th the cost of a helicopter, with zero operating emissions.

THE PROBLEM & OUR SOLUTION


Ground transportation is broken


The average American spends 54 hours stuck in traffic each year. Of these trips, 85% are fewer than 15 miles and 90% are single-occupant. (Source)



Helicopters are an alternative, but are extremely loud and expensive to operate, making vertical flight inaccessible to all but the wealthy. 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.


LIFT's first aircraft, HEXA, is an electric, vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft; a single-seat, hover-optimized, semi-autonomous personal aerial vehicle. HEXA makes flying so simple and inexpensive that almost anyone can experience the joy, freedom, and utility of personal, vertical flight. Designed to be the safest possible aircraft for short-range flights, HEXA was purpose-built for aerial micro-mobility.


Some eVTOL developers have winged aircraft capable of longer-range flights. Instead, we chose a hover-optimized design for enhanced levels of maneuverability, wind resilience, and redundancy. We determined the incremental time savings achieved with wings are not worth the safety tradeoffs.


HEXA safety features.


With 18 electric motors, a triple-redundant flight computer and a  whole-aircraft ballistic parachute, HEXA was designed for safety and is capable of speeds up to 62 mph, HEXA can fly up to 15 miles in 15 minutes.


HEXA's parachute is effective as low as 40 feet above ground level.


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.


LIFT is developing pay-per-flight "vertiport" locations where anyone can fly HEXA within geofenced, controlled flight areas. With highly automated flight controls, pilots are able to be trained in our VR simulator in under 30 minutes. Ground and flight control support is provided by our trained staff.

HEXA is modular by design. The cabin and landing gear can be swapped with any payload, enabling a variety of manned and unmanned applications, including heavy lift cargo and emergency response.


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



Tested with the U.S. Air Force, HEXA's cargo attachment has a payload capability of 350+ pounds.

THE MARKET & OUR TRACTION


A projected $1 trillion market

WHY INVEST


The Future of Flight


Minimal regulatory barriers

HEXA is approved to fly in the U.S. under FAA Part 103, which allows us to launch pay-per-flight operations, no costly FAA-type certification or pilot's license required.


First to market

With flight testing complete, we believe we're ready for our commercial launch later this year. We expect to be the first to offer eVTOL customer flights at scale, and the first to develop a network of eVTOL vertiports for aerial mobility.


In production and ramping up

With 16 aircraft produced in the US under our partnership with Qarbon Aerospace, (a Tier-1 aerospace supplier that manufactures components for the V-22, F-35, and Boeing 767), LIFT has the capacity to double HEXA production annually. 


Profitable unit economics

At our locations, we plan to offer introductory flights at a $249 price point per 8-15 minute flights 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.



LIFT has already signed non-binding LOI’s with partners to develop LIFT vertiports in two of the top 10 tourist destination cities in the world, which we plan to launch with proceeds from current financings. 


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.

Anderson Cooper Flies in an eVTOL

"That is cool," was the response from 60 Minutes correspondent Anderson Cooper after touching down in a vehicle called Hexa. Hexa is made by Austin-based Lift Aircraft, and Cooper was the first person outside of the company to take the aircraft for a spin while reporting on eVTOLs...

It has a chute!

“Does it autorotate?”

No, but we think we have something better than autorotation in most scenarios - a whole aircraft ballistic parachute.

Safety is priority number one at LIFT Aircraft, and we’ve done our best to eliminate single points of failure. HEXA’s safety features include triply redundant flight computers, 18 rotors (the aircraft can lose up to 6 and still maintain flight), floats for water landings, and… an autonomous whole-aircraft ballistic parachute. 

The parachute is located at the top of the aircraft, above the rotors and is effective as low as 40’ AGL. See more safety features here.

LIFT Beta Flight Featured on Supercar Blondie!

With over 70 million followers on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, Supercar Blondie is one of the top automotive and tech influencers - covering the coolest cars, tech, luxury and gaming in the world. No surprise, they found LIFT Aircraft and quickly planned their trip to Austin for a Beta flight. 

HEXA is a perfect fit for the brand, whose mission includes a desire “to inspire a reaction of 'How cool is that!'” 

SCB’s Sergi Galiano has been in the seat of some of the fastest, most exhilarating vehicles on the planet, but nothing compared to his first eVTOL flight. In fact, he called it “one of the most memorable experiences of my entire life, I’m going to remember this forever!”

Watch the overview of Sergi’s Beta flight below.

Want to skip to the good parts? Here are some video highlights: 

  • :00 - 3:35  Sergi gives a really great overview of HEXA and how to pilot the aircraft.
  • 5:33 Boarding HEXA for the first flight of the day. 
  • 6:30 HEXA spins up and takes off.
  • 10:10 Sergi successfully lands HEXA and shares his reaction. 


Sergi shared that he can’t wait for this to be available to the public - neither can we! Beta flights are the final step toward our full public launch later this year. Like Sergi, you can be part of our Early Access Beta Flight Program with a $5,000 investment in LIFT.

LIFT Makes Aviation History

By invitation from the Osaka Prefectural Government and in partnership with Marubeni Corporation and GMO Internet Group, LIFT recently made history by completing the first-ever piloted eVTOL flights in Japan. 

LIFT was selected to perform flight demonstrations under the Osaka Prefectural Government’s Subsidy for Urban Business Creation Flying Car Projects and as a Candidate Demonstrator for Expo 2025, a project of the Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition and the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Demonstrations were performed in Osaka, Ehime and Imabari for audiences including the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB), members of the Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition, the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Japanese media, and the public.

With Osaka Castle as the backdrop, flights were piloted by both LIFT Chief Pilot, Jace McCown and the CEO of GMO Internet Group, Masatoshi Kumagai. Mr. Kumagai, who is also a licensed helicopter and jet pilot, received training from LIFT and became the first Japanese pilot of an eVTOL aircraft.

Invest in the eVTOL that Floats - 30% Bonus Reward Ends Today

From the outset, safety has been top priority for LIFT Aircraft, which significantly influenced the design of HEXA. One of the aircraft’s many safety features is the 7 bottom floats (6 on the legs and one in the center), which make HEXA amphibious - capable of water take off and landing. 

Not only is the amphibious design of HEXA a safety feature, but combined with the aircraft’s small profile and ability to hover and take off and land vertically, this unique versatility opens up a range of possibilities for various applications.

HEXA seamlessly executes a water take off during a recent flight test. 

HEXA holds immense promise for public safety - emergency response, including search-and-rescue missions, emergency medical services, and humanitarian aid efforts. During natural disasters or medical emergencies in remote areas, the aircraft can swiftly transport essential supplies, medical personnel, and equipment.

Introducing our Beta Early Access Program

You may have noticed an investor reward at the $5,000 level - an invitation to participate in our Beta Early Access Program.

Beginner flight envelope testing is complete, and we’ve moved from Alpha to Beta testing; fine tuning the training program and customer experience before our full commercial launch and the start of our tour. 

You can be part of this final, critical step toward thousands being able to fly HEXA! We're offering exclusive, early access Beta flights to LIFT investors who have invested a minimum of $5,000 in LIFT.. 

Starting now (May, 2023), you will be able to schedule a visit to our flight test center in Austin, train in our simulators, fly HEXA, and provide important feedback as we gear up for our full public launch and U.S. tour.* 

FAQs:

Q: Is the $5,000 minimum investment in only this raise or does it include investments in previous StartEngine offering?

A: Existing investors that have already invested $5,000 in a previous raise already qualify. New investors or existing investors that invest more in this raise to achieve the $5,000 level in total will also qualify.

Q: Do I contact you or will I be notified?

A: We are contacting our existing investors who have already invested $5,000 or more and will contact new investors that reach the $5,000 level in this raise as the investments close and disbursements are made.

Q: I am on the waitlist or have pre-paid a deposit for a flight - is that different from the Beta Program?

A: Yes, pre-paid deposits and waitlists for flights on our tour are for flights after our full commercial launch. This Beta Program is the last step in our test program as we fine tune the training and customer experience ahead of our commercial launch. LIFT does not charge program participants for Beta flights - participants that also have pre-paid deposits for future flights will still receive those flights following our commercial launch.

I invested back on May 8 at Tier 2, when I check status of my investment in StartEngine it says "Your funds and account have passed appropriate background checks. Once the campaign you've invested in reaches its minimum funding goal and the offering closes, your funds will be invested." So when will the offering close, and how soon will I receive my shares and my "LIFT Aircraft investor gift"? Thanks.

I paid for a flight more than 4 yr's ago. the flight I was to have done was canceled and I have not heard much since. I just bought 500.00 in shares ( I 'm a disabled vet ) why are only higher paying investors the only ones allowed to do the beta testing?

Any intent for future FAA certifications? I've been involved with flight and other certifications before and I've seen how it can go and how disappointing it is when you think something didn't apply to you, but it does.

Drones are playing significant and decisive role in ongoing conflict between two countries. Have you thought of using your product in future warfare. Or would you consider Autonomous Vehicle for US military in future?

Can you speak to the regulatory part of setting up these taxi hubs and commuting in larger cities? Has the government expressed interest or hesitation in allowing this? Are governments aware of and okay with single aircraft operations anywhere or are you only approved to fly these in desolate areas or at one of your facilities? Are you currently selling these to individual businesses or customers? Is the Texas facility earning money and if so what is the recurring customer stats/revenue? How far out is this plan to build taxi hubs in large cities and what are the funds currently being used for?

Are you considering to expand from single seat drones to 2+ since it would generate more income in the tourism business model OR the design has any weight limitations ?

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

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.
