Potential customers of the AltoVolo Sigma eVTOL can now apply for a build slot with an initial commitment of UKP860, announced the company on November 1, 2025.
“Having validated their autonomous control system, and built a rather impressive flight simulator, this innovative company has now opened the world’s first online eVTOL vehicle configurator,” said the company in a press release. “Visitors to the AltoVolo website can define the finest details of their aircraft, down to the seat belt and stitch line colour. We will be delivering an ultra-refined hybrid electric aircraft. We believe there are thousands of customers for this type of cutting-edge technology,” said founder and CEO, Will Wood. “Much like you would expect from a supercar brand we are focused on performance and technology, rather than minimising costs”.
The Sigma features a hybrid-electric tilting jet propulsion system for improved efficiency and reduced noise, resulting in a 500-mile range and cruise speed of 220mph, according to the company. It is over 80% quieter than helicopters making it suitable for use in residential areas. Safe, stable flight is possible following failure of one jet, continues AltoVolo, it also has a ballistic parachute. It is also compact size and light weight design, just 4.8m wide and 980kg with three passengers on board.
“To ensure the best ongoing ownership experience, AltoVolo is planning a global dealer and servicing network. With detailed consideration already being given to the maintenance, repair and overhaul schedules for Sigma aircraft. The first 100 customer units will be adorned with unique material finishes and have specification options that series produced vehicles will not have available….To aid new eVTOL pilots, AltoVolo has built a simulator that is an exact replica of the Sigma’s cockpit, produced in carbon fibre and soft leather. Customers can fly a digital twin of their exact customised aircraft and learn the controls before taking flight in the real world. The simulator allows pilots to gain accreditation towards their pilot’s licence.”
