Drones / eVTOL
177 tracked companies; 19 companies with incident history, 33 unique documented incidents. Ranked by RobotRisk index; tick marks industry median where nonzero. All industries.
Analyst brief
The category's sole entity, Vertical Aerospace, is represented by one severity-4 event: an uncrewed VX4 prototype crash during flight testing. The dominant failure mode on record is a test-flight hardware loss rather than an in-service or passenger-carrying incident. With only one entity and one event, the data shows complete concentration in a single company and a single test-phase failure. The record is press-driven, originating from reporting on the flight test rather than a regulatory recall or finding.
