Electric aircraft startup Eviation has laid off most of its staff as it struggles to secure new funding, according to media reports from February 2025. The company, a pioneer in developing all-electric aircraft like its nine-seater Alice prototype, took this drastic measure to preserve resources while evaluating future opportunities. This comes amid a challenging period for innovative aerospace startups, with several other eVTOL developers also facing severe financial difficulties in early 2025. The layoffs reflect the immense capital and endurance required to bring a new aircraft from concept to certification.
