The LOI for eight SD‑05 aircraft establishes a concrete early commercial commitment and sets pricing and delivery basics — a key step from prototype and certification activity toward customer fleets.
Partnerships with Aeroauto and SAI Flight target local vertiport and systems integration, aligning SkyDrive’s move with broader efforts to build ground infrastructure needed for operational AAM services.
This deal follows SkyDrive’s type‑certification push for the SD‑05 and reinforces momentum for U.S. market entry consistent with expectations that the U.S. will lead early eVTOL adoption.
