Pegasus Universal Aerospace was founded in 2011 in Houghton, Johannesburg, South Africa by Dr. Reza Mia. The company is in the business of designing and manufacturing passenger electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) and hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft for advanced air mobility (AAM). The first project of the company is to manufacture a small passenger hybrid-electric VTOL jet. The conceptual design work for the Vertical Business Jet began in 2013. The company also announced two new but smaller passenger eVTOL multicopter concept design aircraft in 2024 and in 2025. Pegasus Universal Aerospace is primarily self-funded with an angel investor and is currently looking for new investments. Pegasus estimates as of July 2019, it needs $400 million to bring the aircraft to the market.
The company's mission is to innovate the aerospace and transportation sector, both locally and globally, provide their client's with service and value that exceeds their expectations in terms of safety, comfort, style, speed and the ability to fly from point-to-point in a jet without the aid of runways. The jet will be able to land in a parking lot, heliport, yacht, on any surface including grass or gravel, and on a conventional runway. This capability of VTOL flight eliminates the need for a car or helicopter to travel to and from an airport, reducing travel time for the passengers. Pegasus Universal Aerospace plans to compete with tradition private jets used for short to medium trips in the nascent advanced air mobility (AAM) industry.
Two-Man eVTOL passenger eVTOL concept design aircraft
The Two-Man eVTOL is a two passenger eVTOL concept design multicopter aircraft. The concept design aircraft has a similar look to a small general aviation aircraft. The aircraft has a canopy over the cockpit providing excellent views for the pilot and passengers. The aircraft has room for luggage.
There are no estimated aeronautic specifications provided by the company for the multicopter. The aircraft was designed with four propellers, four electric motors and uses batteries for its power source. An Instagram post on March 6, 2025 reveals another design for this multicopter that has the option of six propellers. The fuselage is made from carbon fiber composite to give the aircraft a high strength to low weight ratio. The multicopter has fixed tricycle wheeled landing gear.
The company foresees this aircraft used for urban and rural travel for advanced air mobility (AAM). The company's website as of October 2025 has the price for this multicopter at approximately $316,000.00 USD. This price was first announced by the company on their Instagram account on July 15, 2024. However, it looks as though the company has superseded this multicopter with another short-range two person eVTOL concept design multicopter aircraft called the Chariot. The Chariot was announced on the company's Instagram account on July 2, 2025.
Concept design aircraft specifications are generally estimated and can or will change as prototypes and production models are made, tested and flown with real world avionics, components and payloads.
Specifications:
- Aircraft type: Passenger eVTOL concept design multicopter aircraft
- Piloting: 1 pilot
- Capacity: 1 passenger
- Cruise speed: Unknown
- Propellers: 4 propellers (has an option for 6 propellers)
- Electric motors: 4 electric motors (has an option for 6 electric motors)
- Power source: Batteries
- Fuselage: Carbon fiber composite
- Window: Canopy over cockpit
- Landing gear: Fixed tricycle wheeled landing gear
- Safety features: Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) uses multiple propellers or electric ducted fans, each powered by electric motors, to increase safety through redundancy. If one or more components fail, the remaining ones can still ensure a safe landing. There are also redundancies of critical components in the sub-systems of the aircraft providing safety through redundancy. Having multiple redundant systems on any aircraft decreases having any single point of failure. The aircraft has no moving surfaces or tilting parts when transitioning from vertical to forward flight and the reverse which increases safety by reducing complexity.
