What happens when experienced helicopter pilots get hands on with our aircraft?

Vertical Aerospace eVTOL Partnership October 22, 2026

Last week, pilots from Bristow Group, a leading global provider of mission-critical aviation services, visited our facilities to experience our aircraft through the simulator and in person, spend time with our pilots and engineers, and talk about what the future of operations could look like.

It's another important step in a partnership focused on more than aircraft.

Together, we're combining next-generation aerospace technology with decades of operational expertise to help advance the future of electric aviation.

Vertical Aerospace hosting pilots from Bristow Group, a major commercial helicopter operator, for hands on aircraft and simulator time is a real signal, since operator partnerships like this typically precede flight test and operations hiring. Vertical Aerospace lists more than 10 open roles on the board, and candidates in flight test or pilot training should watch this partnership for near term openings.
