Marubeni Aerospace Partners with LIFT Aircraft to Bring HEXA eVTOL to Japan<\/h3>\n

LIFT Aircraft<\/a>, in partnership with Marubeni Aerospace, plans to launch its unique pay-per-flight eVTOL service in Japan during World Expo 2025. Following successful demonstrations in Osaka and an exhibition at SusHi Tech 2024 in Tokyo, the collaboration marks Japan as the first market outside of the United States where LIFT\u2019s HEXA aircraft will be available to the public. This move comes as Marubeni Aerospace officially places its first purchase order for HEXA, following a pre-order agreement made last year.<\/p>\n

HEXA to Offer eVTOL Flights for Japanese Public<\/h3>\n

Japan will be only the second country where people can experience eVTOL flight training and operation. LIFT initially launched its pay-per-flight eVTOL experiences in the United States in 2023, and now, with Marubeni Aerospace as its operating partner, LIFT Japan will allow the Japanese public to enjoy the HEXA experience firsthand. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to deepen our relationship with Marubeni Aerospace and bring LIFT Aircraft to Japan,\u201d said Matt Chasen, Founder and CEO of LIFT Aircraft. \u201cOur demonstrations in Osaka and Tokyo have shown that there is significant demand for personal eVTOL experiences in Japan. Marubeni Aerospace\u2019s operational excellence and reputation make them the perfect partner as we make the dream of flight a reality for people across Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marubeni Aerospace is part of the Marubeni Group, a prominent Japanese trading company backed by Warren Buffet. Known for championing new technologies, Marubeni has recently focused on sustainable and innovative transportation. This partnership with LIFT aligns with Marubeni\u2019s broader goals of driving technological advancement and environmental consciousness.<\/p>\n

HEXA\u2019s Journey in Japan and Expanding Global Presence<\/h3>\n

LIFT Aircraft has worked with the United States Air Force to test HEXA, showcasing its suitability for both recreational flight and potential public safety applications. The launch of LIFT Japan represents a major expansion of LIFT\u2019s global reach, which aims to make personal, vertical flight accessible to a wider audience. \u201cLIFT Aircraft is committed to revolutionizing recreational aviation and advancing eVTOL technology worldwide,\u201d the company states, underscoring its dedication to introducing the public to this new form of personal transportation.<\/p>\n

The upcoming launch at Expo 2025 highlights the increasing demand for innovative flight experiences. With the support of Marubeni Aerospace, LIFT Japan is poised to make HEXA an integral part of Japan\u2019s push toward future-forward and environmentally friendly aviation solutions.<\/p>\n
