Propelling Electric Aviation Forward

At Rockwood Group, innovation isn’t just our mission—it’s airborne. The VX4, a groundbreaking electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, has completed a piloted flight in open airspace—a leap toward sustainable aviation.

Our Role in the VX4’s Success

Behind this milestone are Rockwood Group’s next-generation propellers, engineered to deliver:

Ultra-high efficiency for maximum range and performance.

Low noise operation, critical for urban flight.

Precision balance to ensure smooth, vibration-free flight.

Lightweight strength, reducing energy use while withstanding intense flight forces.

These propellers aren’t just components—they’re enablers of electric aviation, helping the VX4 achieve the stability, lift, and energy efficiency required for safe, clean, and quiet operation.

Why It Matters

The VX4 represents more than a technological feat—it’s a vision of aviation’s future:

Zero in-flight emissions for cleaner skies.

Quieter, more efficient air mobility for urban and regional travel.

Certification-ready performance validated by the UK Civil Aviation Authority.

With test flights now underway, the VX4 moves closer to commercial service—flying faster, quieter, and greener.

We’re proud that our technology powers this extraordinary chapter in aviation. This is real progress in action—and we’re just getting started.
