@1860rm @ehang Impressive, Ryan. You might become the only person on the planet that has flown 2 different eVTOL models. Much respect for our friends at @ehang in the pioneering work with autonomous/remotely piloted eVTOL.

@DickPeterKochJr @LIFTAircraft Monetized flights live in Austin… This is a customer flight!

[Matt Chasen @mattchasen]

This was epic. Thanks to @expo2025_japan and our partner @Marubeni_Corp

LIFT is back at Expo 2025 Osaka! This time CEO, Matt Chasen, takes this Expo themed HEXA for a spin around the Expo vertiport.

[Matt Chasen @mattchasen]

@LIFTAircraft We couldn’t have asked for a better location. This makes Austin the first major US city to launch eVTOL operations. No executive order needed.

[LIFT Aircraft Inc. @LIFTAircraft]

LIFT is now open in downtown Austin. Perched on a hill overlooking Ladybird Lake, the Long Center is LIFT's new home in Austin. Now you can experience the future of personal aerial mobility - on your lunch break. Book an introductory flight for only $199: https://t.co/jRX5GGBYfV

Kudos @UTAustin for bringing back testing requirements. Grades / class rank alone - so variable across high schools - are not holistic and have created incentives for students to take less challenging classes and are leading to less competitive graduates. https://t.co/pO6lOnv1tG

@JoshuaBaer That rings very true! Well said!

@TexasInnoCenter @LIFTAircraft @UTAerospace @UTAustin @CockrellSchool @uShip @vtruskett @NewsgirlAustin The pleasure was all mine. Great to get back to @UTAustin campus for something other than a football game! Very impressed by #LaunchTexas program and students. Keep up the great work @TexasInnoCenter. 🤘

@UTexasMcCombs @LIFTAircraft @andersoncooper @CBS @60Minutes @UTMcCombsAlumni @UTexasMBA Look closely at the background. Yes, that is actually on campus at UT Research Center. Hook ‘em, y’all. #WhatStartsHere

[Matt Chasen @mattchasen]

@garrytan This is sad but very true.

[Matt Chasen @mattchasen]

@NorahODonnell You are next up!

[LIFT Aircraft Inc. @LIFTAircraft]

We love @andersoncooper's reaction to flying HEXA for the first time! Tune in to @60Minutes tomorrow for the full story... Huge thanks to @CBSEveningNews!

[Matt Chasen @mattchasen]

60 Minutes this Sunday… Let’s go!!!

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

Sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic during rush hour is one of the worst things about the morning commute. But what if people could fly over the gridlock? @andersoncooper takes a ride in what could be the flying vehicle of the future, Sunday.

[Matt Chasen @mattchasen]
