Products: evtol. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 26.1/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 12 of 19 among Drones / eVTOL companies with incidents (177 tracked).
Analyst brief
Alauda Aeronautics' record in the drones-evtol category contains two entries spanning 2019 to 2021: a 2019 Airspeeder demonstrator crash that prompted an AAIB investigation citing poor design and build quality, and a 2021 event in which an out-of-control Airspeeder racing drone entered Gatwick controlled airspace after a kill-switch failure. Both entries carry a severity rating of 3, one classified as regulatory and one as a crash, indicating a repeated pattern involving vehicle control loss rather than an isolated incident. Alauda Aeronautics's index of 26.1 ranks 12 of 19 companies in Drones / eVTOL with incident history. The record is a mix of regulator-driven investigation and incident-driven reporting rather than a single source type.
