Future ways to swing
City to airport, suburb to downtown, across town — over the traffic. These person-scale VTOL aircraft are in design, build or certification today. They are not bookable on SWING yet; what flies now is helicopters from certificated operators.
In design & certification path
ASX Sigma 6
Modular multi-mission eVTOL from Airspace Experience Technologies (ASX), developed right here in Detroit — built to hop downtown to the airport, or suburb to city, over the traffic.
Single-seat personal eVTOL already flying as an ultralight; commercial HEXA-C has entered the FAA type certification process. Think short scenic hops and riverfront-to-park flights.
Future vision only — not available for booking; depends on FAA certification and approvals. Images are unaltered manufacturer photos. LIFT, HEXA, Jetson, Jetson ONE, AIR and AIR ONE are trademarks of their respective owners and are named only as examples of aircraft in design, build or certification — no partnership is implied. Sigma 6 is an ASX aircraft.
