Boeing Engineering Sparks Magic in First Autonomous Flights – eVTOL Evolution

Discover how Boeing NeXt and HorizonX pioneered the evolution of eVTOL technology, urban air mobility, and autonomous air taxis. Learn about the groundbreaking innovations shaping the future of flight.

IMAGINATION MEETS INNOVATION: Boeing NeXt teammates collaborated with Disney Imagineers to craft aeroshells that fit over NeXt’s eVTOL cargo air vehicles (CAVs) to create autonomous X-wing Starfighters. Together, the teams designed everything from the fuselage to the four laser cannons, producing an autonomous eVTOL nearly identical to the spacecraft featured in the “Star Wars” movies.
