A FIRST LOOK AT "INTEGRITY" EVTOL BY CRISALION MOBILITY
The Crisalion Mobility Integrity eVTOL is among the most technically distinctive electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft currently in development: a six-passenger air taxi powered by 16 independent propulsion units and governed by the company's patented FlyFree stability system. Designed for both urban passenger transport and cargo logistics, the Integrity positions itself at the intersection of safety, efficiency, and commercial viability in advanced air mobility.
What is FlyFree technology?
FlyFree is Crisalion's core propulsion architecture and the element that most differentiates the Integrity from competing eVTOL platforms. Rather than relying on a centralised flight control system managing a small number of large rotors, FlyFree controls each of the aircraft's 16 propulsion units independently. This distributed approach allows the system to compensate for individual motor failures in real time, maintaining stable flight even under adverse weather conditions. Crisalion began indoor testing of the platform in 2019 and moved to outdoor prototype testing in 2022, giving FlyFree a validated development history that many newer eVTOL programmes lack.
Integrity specifications: range, speed, and capacity
The Integrity is configured to carry five passengers plus a pilot, with a maximum payload of 400 kg. Cruising speed reaches 180 km/h and the operational range extends to 130 km on a single charge, making it viable for urban routes as well as intercity connections where road travel is slow. The multifunctional cockpit supports both piloted and remotely supervised operations, and the carbon fibre airframe keeps structural weight in check without compromising the passenger cabin. Low noise output and zero direct emissions are central to Crisalion's certification strategy with EASA, where the company submitted its design organisation approval proposal with a target service date of 2030.
Market position and pre-sales
Crisalion has secured 145 pre-sales of the Integrity across four continents, a figure that reflects growing operator confidence in FlyFree as a commercially deployable system. The aircraft targets the middle-mile logistics gap, urban air taxi routes, and emergency medical services simultaneously, which broadens its addressable market beyond the point-to-point passenger use case that most competitors focus on exclusively. Partnerships with operators such as UrbanLink Air Mobility further demonstrate the commercial pipeline being built around the platform.
Full technical documentation is available on the Crisalion Integrity aircraft page. Analysis of the FlyFree propulsion concept has been covered in depth by AIN Online and the carbon fibre airframe construction by CompositesWorld.
Advanced air mobility at TheArsenale
The Integrity illustrates where personal air travel is heading. TheArsenale already offers a curated selection of aircraft and autonomous aerial vehicles for those ready to explore the category. The Ehang AAV autonomous passenger drone represents the nearest available production reality, while the XPENG X2 eVTOL flying car bridges road and air in a single platform. For hybrid-electric fixed-wing aviation, the Atea by Ascendance charts a parallel path to sustainable regional flight. Browse the full TheArsenale Aero collection.
