Bell’s Nexus 4EX Flying Taxi
Bell Nexus 4EX Hybrid & Electric
Need to catch a quick ride across town? The Bell Nexus powered by electric-propulsion offers a quiet, comfortable ride across the city, returning valuable time back to you. The Bell Nexus 4EX can operate as an electric-only vehicle or a hybrid-electric configured vehicle. With a hybrid platform, the Nexus 4EX promises an extended reach to travel farther or to more remote locations, based on your mobility needs.
Our journey to build the right aircraft to revolutionize vertical lift allows us to explore new avenues and evolve our technology. Introducing the Bell Nexus 4EX, a four-duct vehicle configurable in an electric or hybrid-electric platform. Efficient, cleaner and capable, exactly what the world needs.
A Family of Vehicles
At CES 2019, our six-duct vehicle stunned a global audience and showed them a glimpse into the future. After testing and development, we’ve expanded the Nexus family to include the Bell Nexus 4EX. Our teams are excited for another year of learning and progress as we build the aircraft to fit customer and market demands.
