Our Take on the DaVinci ZeroG
The DaVinci ZeroG has made a number of successful test flights, and is continuing its momentum by establishing an office in Chicago. The company aims to achieve market rollout readiness by 2023, the same timeframe claimed by the UberAIR Initiative. Initially, the company claimed that by 2020 they could have a full-scale functional aircraft that is being tested; however, progress toward the milestone has not been publicized since the flight of its first prototype in 2018.
