About

Founders Furqan and Malcolm have been working on eVTOL aircraft since Uber popularized the concept of Urban Air Mobility in 2016. They had the idea for an eVTOL bus 5 years ago and have been pursuing it ever since.

Sora (空) is Japanese for ‘Sky’.

We are a Bristol, UK-based start-up developing an eVTOL bus with zero emissions, low noise, and affordable ticket prices for the AAM market.
