"The SureFly is an American-made eVTOL currently pursuing FAA Type Certification with a smart design that emphasizes safety, all of which is important to us," said Tony Thompson, President of Quantum XYZ. "Quantum XYZ plans to submit its application to become a FAA certified Urban VTOL air carrier. Once SureFly receives FAA Type Certification, we feel that together, Quantum and SureFly will be in a position to bring the first Urban VTOL air service to market."

"We invite a future where safe, on-demand air travel is as ubiquitous as car service, a future in which aircrafts consume half the energy but generate twice the fun. We're excited to partner with Workhorse in our efforts to bring the first Urban VTOL air carrier service to market, starting with a SureFly launch fleet in Los Angeles," stated Zeeshan Moha, Vice President and Chief Route Architect of Quantum XYZ.

SureFly, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Workhorse, is currently testing under an experimental certificate with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). SureFly has submitted its Type Certification application for the SureFly eVTOL aircraft.
