Products: evtol. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 17.1/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 95th percentile of 171 drones evtol companies.
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 17.2 places it at the 94.7th percentile within drones-evtol, elevated standing driven by two moderate-severity entries rather than a single high-severity event. Both entries are press-reported operational incidents with no fatality or recall entries.
