AIR

Products: evtol. Risk band: Elevated   RobotRisk index 28.4/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 10 of 19 among Drones / eVTOL companies with incidents (177 tracked).

Analyst brief

The record contains two entries spanning March 2024 to October 2025: an AIR ONE eVTOL prototype crash during a Florida test flight (severity 3) and an MQ-9 Reaper drone losing control-station contact and making an emergency landing in Poland (severity 2). The two entries span different program types, prototype eVTOL testing and a separate unmanned military aircraft incident, indicating the record aggregates distinct platforms rather than a single recurring failure mode. AIR's index of 28.5 ranks 10 of 19 companies in Drones / eVTOL with incident history. Both entries are press-reported operational incidents with no fatality or recall entries.
