Raven isn't a rendering. It's being built.

The core aircraft design, aerodynamic profiling, and structural load analysis are complete. The fuselage and tail structures are modeled and validated. The prototype airframe has gone through initial build and structural testing, and the powertrain, generator, motor integration, and ground spin-up, has already been proven on the ground. Primary airframe construction is underway now, with integrated ground testing and a flight-test campaign targeting 2026.

Aviation has always forced a choice. Helicopters can land almost anywhere, but they're expensive and complex to fly. Airplanes are efficient and proven, but they need a runway. Raven is built to end that trade-off.

We're raising a focused $250,000 First Flight Fund to complete our Raven demonstration aircraft and reach flight test, the milestone that moves this program from paper to the air.

Big day for us: the Alpine Vertical website is officially live.

Raven is our hybrid VTOL aircraft, designed to get you beyond the runway without giving up the range and feel of a fixed-wing plane. On the new site you can explore the aircraft, see how Raven fits recreation, personal ownership, wildfire evacuation, EMS, and flight training, and check out our development roadmap to see exactly where things stand.

You can also join the Founders List to reserve your production position. It’s a fully refundable deposit with no obligation.

White House Executive Order Signals Major Tailwinds for eVTOL/hVTOL Investment
On June 6, 2025, the White House issued a sweeping Executive Order to accelerate deployment of electric and hybrid vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL/hVTOL) aircraft. The new Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Integration Pilot Program (eIPP) sets the stage for national scale.
Alpine Vertical is raising $20M to fund its hVTOL aircraft platform through profitability by 2028.* They are well positioned to benefit from this mandate.
• Mandates at least 5 real-world pilot projects—cargo, medevac, rural access, and urban air mobility

• Streamlines FAA approval timelines for BVLOS and advanced air operations

• Prioritizes domestic manufacturing, with federal procurement support

• Aligns with DoT and FAA to safely integrate eVTOLs into the National Airspace System

• Establishes clear deadlines—project selection by Dec 2025, operations by early 2026
This creates a unique window to back U.S. platforms with flight-ready tech, IP defensibility, and a pathway to certification.
