About Lift Aircraft
LIFT Aircraft is an aerospace company that has developed an electric, vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft called the HEXA. The company is focused on the experiential entertainment market, offering recreational flights to the general public. The HEXA is a single-seat, 18-rotor ultralight aircraft, which means that in the United States, it can be flown by individuals without a pilot's license, making it accessible to a broad consumer base.

The business model is centered around providing these flight experiences at various locations, including scenic and tourist areas. Customers receive training in a virtual reality simulator before their flight. The company was founded by Matt Chasen, who also founded uShip, and is based in Austin, Texas. LIFT Aircraft is part of the growing advanced air mobility (AAM) and urban air mobility (UAM) sectors, but its initial focus is on recreation rather than transportation.
