Urban Aeronautics aims to improve the safety of the CityHawk by integrating Universal Avionics' ClearVision Enhanced Flight Vision system, which it says will increase situational awareness and improve decision making.

Urban Aeronautics is currently raising a Series A round of at least $100 million. The aerospace company, which was founded in 2006, has been under new leadership following the appointment of Nimrod Golan-Yanay to CEO.

The CityHawk will be a lightweight twin-engine VTOL aircraft, with a uniquely compact footprint that can be optimised for urban transportation or emergency response. Hatzolah has put pen to paper for four of them.
