#1 - Vertical Aerospace (NYSE:EVTL)
Vertical Aerospace Ltd. (NYSE: EVTL) is one of the speculative stocks for investors to consider in the emerging flying car sector. Flying cars, also known as electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft – or EVTOLs, are becoming a reality. We're not close to flying around like The Jetson's. Still, this sector has practical applications, particularly as alternatives to ground transportation for commutes such as to and from an airport in a congested urban area. There are also obvious applications in disaster relief and delivering food and medical supplies to urban areas.
Vertical Aerospace has a prototype, the VX4, that has already logged over 1,000 test flights. The VX4 can hold up to four passengers plus a pilot and can travel up to 100 miles. If the company continues on its current path, it may begin commercial operations in 2025.
However, the company is recovering from a setback after a crash in the UK in 2023. It's also facing a cash burn that, as of December 2023, left the company funded through September 2024. However, the company's founder and chief executive officer, Stephen Fitzpatrick, recently pledged to invest $50 million into the company to extend its cash runway into 2025.
The company has also received a delisting notice from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) because the EVTL stock price has been below $1 for 30 consecutive trading days.
