Vertical Aerospace Ltd. has entered a new long-term agreement with Astronics Corporation for the low-voltage power distribution system on its Valo electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Effective June 26, 2026, Astronics will supply Modular Conversion and Distribution Units and Secondary Power Distribution Units tailored for eVTOL needs.
The Astronics system converts high-voltage power from Valo’s propulsion architecture into low-voltage power for avionics, flight controls and other critical onboard systems, and is already integrated into Vertical’s piloted flight test aircraft. The agreement reinforces Vertical’s supplier ecosystem alongside partners such as Honeywell, Aciturri, Evolito and others as the company advances Valo toward certification and commercial production. The 6-K (excluding the press release) is incorporated by reference into several existing Form F-3 registration statements.

The options begin vesting on June 30, 2026, with additional portions vesting quarterly thereafter under the applicable vesting schedule, conditioned on Mr. Simpson’s continued service through each vesting date. The options are scheduled to expire on January 21, 2036 if not exercised.

The agreement strengthens Vertical’s supplier ecosystem as it advances Valo toward certification and commercialization, alongside existing partners such as Honeywell, Aciturri, Evolito, Syensqo and Isoclima. The company recently completed a two-way piloted transition flight and is progressing toward Critical Design Review, which will establish the certifiable design baseline for certification-conforming aircraft.
