AIBOT conducts successful flight test at San Bernardino International Airport

AIBOT, a pioneering innovator in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL and drone) technology, has become the first eVTOL and drone manufacturer to 

AIBOT has successfully conducted a flight test at the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Center at San Bernardino International Airport under the newly established Norton Test Range. The flight was conducted through a partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration’s UAS Test Range: Alaska Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration for operations on the Norton Test Range. 

This represents the first test at the site by a manufacturer of large electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and UAS.

The tests were used to validate the performance, safety, and operational feasibility of AIBOT’s aiEVTOL technology within an airport environment. The company is planning to carry out expanded testing, including future beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations. Max Ma, President of AIBOT, said the test is a step towards the company’s goal of launching commercial eVTOL operations.

The Norton Test Range is designed to support the integration of eVTOL and UAS technologies into the national airspace. The site provides a dedicated facility for testing next-generation aircraft, bringing together companies, researchers, and regulators to advance UAS technology.
