Opener.aero focuses on personal transportation through its electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft called BlackFly. The BlackFly is designed for individual consumers, providing a simple, safe, and eco-friendly travel option. It operates fully electric, producing no emissions, and can take off and land vertically, making it suitable for both urban and remote areas. The aircraft is portable, fitting into a small trailer, and can be assembled for flight in about 30 minutes. Opener sells the BlackFly directly to consumers and offers training programs for safe operation, along with maintenance and support services. What sets Opener apart from competitors is its emphasis on safety, featuring multiple redundant systems and advanced software protections to ensure reliability. The goal of Opener is to lead the eVTOL market by providing a unique and sustainable personal transportation solution.
