Vertical Aerospace Ltd. reported that it and its wholly owned subsidiary, Vertical Aerospace Group Ltd., have been named as defendants in a complaint filed by Archer Aviation Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The complaint alleges infringement of Archer’s design and utility patents under the U.S. Patent Act.
Vertical states that it believes the asserted claims are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. The company also furnished a press release restating its commitment to independently developed proprietary technology, its certification pathway for its Valo electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft and hybrid-electric variant, and its broader strategy in advanced air mobility.
Vertical Aerospace Ltd. has entered a new long-term partnership with Evolito Ltd. to design, supply and support electric propulsion units (EPUs) for Valo, its electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft. Evolito will provide a high-performance, lightweight EPU architecture with built-in redundancy to support extended range and commercial operations.
The companies plan to jointly certify the EPUs with the UK Civil Aviation Authority and seek concurrent validation with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, targeting airliner-level safety standards for Valo in 2028. Evolito already holds CAA Design Organisation Approval, and its EPUs will also be integrated into Vertical’s planned hybrid-electric variant, which is scheduled to begin flight testing in mid-2026. The partnership aligns with UK government-backed aerospace innovation efforts supported by the Aerospace Technology Institute.
