Tacoma, WA – March 18, 2025 – Alpine Vertical, a pioneering force in the electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft sector, has announced a $20 million equity raise to accelerate the development and commercialization of its next-generation hybrid VTOL (hVTOL) aircraft, the Argon. This capital raise is aimed at advancing Alpine Vertical’s mission to provide safe, sustainable, and accessible vertical flight solutions.

Alpine Vertical’s innovative approach leverages a proven airframe with proprietary vertical lift modifications, significantly reducing regulatory hurdles and development risks compared to industry peers. With a rapid go-to-market strategy of 24-30 months—far faster than competitors facing a 7-16 year certification process—the company is poised to deliver a cost-effective and highly adaptable aircraft for emergency services, flight training, and personal use.

“The market for eVTOL aircraft is expanding rapidly, projected to grow from $1.2 billion in 2023 to $17.7 billion by 2030,” said Stephen Tibbitts, CEO and Chairman of Alpine Vertical. “Our strategy of integrating proven aviation technologies with our proprietary hybrid VTOL modifications uniquely positions us to capture an underserved segment of the market—providing an accessible and lower-cost alternative to traditional helicopters and larger eVTOL designs.”
