Nexus Nova is finalizing the development of its flagship hydrogen-powered autonomous-capable model. Morgan Stanley projects that the addressable market for urban flight will exceed $1.0 trillion by 2040. Urban air mobility represents opportunities within infrastructure, fleet management, and technical innovation. Using electrical ducted fans and downwash reduction tech, the first generation of these vehicles hover six to 12 inches above the ground when driving. Only NHTSA certification is required, significantly lowering costs of regulation.

The second generation being developed concurrently will seamlessly scale to full aerial mobility reaching an altitude of 200 feet. The AI driven multi-sensor navigation system integrates LIDAR, radar, GPS, and real time imaging for controlled urban flight scenarios. NNI is seriously engaged with FAA, DOT, and NHTSA regarding aerial safety and regulatory requirements.

In 1940, automaker Henry Ford said, “Mark my words, a combination airplane and motorcar is coming.” Fast forward to 2025: It is here.
