Analyst brief
The record holds a single entry: a mechanical failure in the Hexa eVTOL aircraft during a public demonstration at the Osaka World Expo, severity 3, which halted the demo flight program. One entry with no prior history represents an isolated event rather than a pattern. The failure occurred in a public exhibition context rather than a certified passenger-carrying operation, and the record is press-reported with no indication of regulatory action.
