The RYSE Recon personal all-electric ultralight vertical takeoff and landing vehicle successfully completed its first manned flight, which included a seamless takeoff, controlled hover, forward flight, pivot turn maneuvers, and a smooth landing. Key features include up to a 25-mile range on a single charge and a top speed of 63 mph.
Recon will also be able to operate on both land and water, all the while having low-cost maintenance to keep it somewhat affordable. Power comes from six independent propulsion systems with independent, removable and rechargeable batteries. The production model is expected to be priced from $150,000 USD and customer deliveries are set to begin in Q2 2023. For those in the market for a personal eVTOL, it will be a tossup between the RYSE Recon and Jetson One.

This is an amazing accomplishment for our entire team at RYSE Aero Tech. It was effortless and very enjoyable to fly. I was thrilled at how I could literally hover, take my hands off the controls and the RECON sat there stable and safe,” said Erik Stephansen, RYSE Aero Technologies’ Director of Regulatory Affairs and Aeronautics.
