Founded in 2021, Mostavio is a manufacturer of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for advanced air mobility (AAM) and is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The company has stated they focus on safety, sustainability and intelligent design. The mission of the company is to make personal air transportation more accessible, efficient and environmentally responsible. The company successfully designs, manufactures and sells drones under Mostavio Skytech division. 

Ultralight passenger eVTOL multicopter aircraft (concept design)
The Ultralight is a modern looking one passenger eVTOL multicopter aircraft. The Ultralight has been designed for personal recreational use in rural environments. According to the company, the lightweight frame is compliant with FAA Part 103 and Transport Canada ultralight standards. The aircraft will offer a safe and simple solution for off-grid scenic and adventure flights.

The estimated cruise speed for the multicopter is 62 mph (100 km/h). The calculated maximum payload weight of the aircraft is 220 lb (100 kg). The aircraft has eight stacked propellers, has eight electric motors and is powered by battery packs. The fuselage is made from carbon fiber composite to give the aircraft a high strength to low weight ratio. The multicopter has fixed skid landing gear. The company offers an option for the customer to purchase an emergency ballistic parachute.

Over 1,000 Subscale Drone Flight Test Announced in 2023
Mostavio announced in 2023 it had successfully completed over 1,000 subscale drone flight tests, a major milestone in the validation of its flight control system and autonomous capabilities. These tests provide critical data for sensor fusion, stability control, and flight controller integration, allowing the company's engineering team to refine system parameters and optimize performance for full-scale eVTOL applications.

Specifications:

• Aircraft type: Passenger eVTOL multicopter aircraft (concept design)
• Piloting: 1 pilot with FAA Part 103 and Transport Canada ultralight standards
• Cruise speed: 62 mph (100 km/h)
• Maximum payload weight: 220 lb (100 kg)
• Propellers: 8 stacked propellers
• Electric motors: 8 electric motors
• Power source: Battery packs
• Fuselage: Carbon fiber composite
• Window: Canopy over cockpit or open cockpit
• Landing gear: Fixed skid landing gear
• Safety features: Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) uses multiple propellers or electric ducted fans, each powered by electric motors, to increase safety through redundancy. If one or more components fail, the remaining ones can still ensure a safe landing. There are also redundancies of critical components in the sub-systems of the aircraft providing safety through redundancy. Having multiple redundant systems on any aircraft decreases having any single point of failure. The aircraft has no moving surfaces or tilting parts when transitioning from vertical to forward flight and the reverse which increases safety by reducing complexity. The company offers an option for the customer to purchase an emergency ballistic parachute.
