  • Visitors admire the VX4, by the ‘Vertical’ company, a battery-powered eVTOL (electric-powered Vertical Take-off and landing) aircraft being exhibited at the Farnborough Airshow, on 18th July 2022, at Farnborough, England. The VX4 can fly at over 200mph, near silent when in flight, zero emissions and low cost per passenger mile. ‘Vertical’ say the VX4 is going to open up urban air mobility to a whole range of passengers. The Farnborough International Airshow (FIA) is an aerospace and defence industry trade fair which, due to Covid, is being held for the first time in four years. The pandemic has had a major impact on commercial aviation, while the war in Ukraine has changed the mindset for defence industries. There are 1,200 exhibitors from 42 countries here with organisers hoping to attract more than 80,000 visitors over the week. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)Tech
