Overview
We won\'t realise our mission following the same legacy processes and traditions our predecessors followed, instead, we want to \"redefine\" aerospace best practices. We are growing quickly from a prototype business to a scaling SME, and the next few years will be critical to our success and delivering on our ambitious goals. Valo is targeting airliner-level safety certification in 2028 ahead of entering service with our airline and operator customers.
