Vertical Aerospace picks Evolito axial‑flux EPUs to power Valo eVTOL

Vertical Aerospace has signed a long‑term deal with UK electric‑propulsion developer Evolito to supply electric propulsion units — axial‑flux motors and DAL‑A power electronics — for its Valo eVTOL. The selection follows the collapse of a prior Rolls‑Royce powerplant agreement after Rolls‑Royce withdrew in 2024.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Secures Valo's core propulsion hardware — Evolito will supply axial‑flux EPUs, motors and DAL‑A power electronics — a prerequisite for upcoming flight testing and certification activity (see recent Valo flight‑test progress) (source:d516920c-6c62-44c9-87be-ec241a6ddc20).
  • Signals a broader industry move toward specialist axial‑flux motor and integrated EPU suppliers, mirroring other recent motor supplier partnerships in the AAM supply chain and the sector's commercialisation push at events like Zhuhai (source:942def0d-ab88-430b-80af-183b5afc738e) (source:dceefb19-9a83-474a-b7a4-4cbc84ecf0e6).
