In July 2026, wind tunnel testing began on small coupon samples that feature UofT's ice protection technologies, marking the first step in evaluating the viability of these technologies on the Cavorite X7.

Wisk, SkyGrid and Insitu have pioneered and incubated autonomous flight technologies for the future that, in combination with Archer's air taxi, UAS and AI technologies, will bring innovative solutions to the market.

The flight is the first time that the aircraft’s pusher propulsion system is activated while in the air and it confirms the key features of Eve’s eVTOL design.
