In February 2026, the company and Singapore-based [[ST Engineering]] announced the launch of a new unmanned [[electric vertical take-off and landing]] (eVTOL) aircraft called the DrN-600.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Shahaf |first=Tal |last2=Shahaf |first2=Tal |date=2026-02-02 |title=‘The next generation of drones’: Israeli-Singaporean cargo aircraft aims to reshape the market |url=https://www.ynetnews.com/business/article/r1f0xm0811g |access-date=2026-10-11 |work=Ynetglobal |language=en}}</ref>

In March 2026, the company reported sales of more than 25 unmanned AIR 120D aircraft and pre-orders for the AIR ONE aircraft exceeding 3,300 customers.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Orbach |first=Meir |date=2026-03-27 |title=Israeli startup AIR secures $1 billion in orders for personal electric aircraft with 3,300 buyers waiting |url=https://www.ynetnews.com/business/article/r1ejrlnowx |access-date=2026-10-11 |work=Ynetglobal |language=en}}</ref><ref name="flyingmag"/><ref>{{Cite web |last=אורבך |first=מאיר |date=2026-03-25 |title=הסטארט-אפ הישראלי AIR צבר הזמנות של מיליארד דולר למטוס האישי שלו {{!}} כלכליסט |url=https://www.calcalist.co.il/calcalistech/article/ryljmswowl |access-date=2026-10-11 |website=calcalist |language=he}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Orbach |first=Meir |date=2026-03-25 |title=Israeli eVTOL startup AIR secures $1 billion in orders for personal aircraft |url=https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/hkqf9p11jwx |access-date=2026-10-11 |website=ctech |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Shahaf |first=Tal |last2=Shahaf |first2=Tal |date=2026-04-15 |title=A fraction of helicopter cost: Israeli cargo eVTOL draws US interest as Hormuz crisis reshapes logistics |url=https://www.ynetnews.com/business/article/hkbakf6nzl |access-date=2026-10-11 |work=Ynetglobal |language=en}}</ref>

By 2026, AIR had progressed from aircraft prototyping to aircraft manufacturing, with delivered aircraft, ongoing operational activity, and investment from institutional investors.
