HayesX-250: Revolutionizing Personal Flight at SEMA Show 2026

HayesX, an innovative personal aviation company based in Las Vegas, has taken a significant step in the world of electric flight by introducing the HayesX-250 at the 2026 SEMA Show. Scheduled for display from November 3 to 6 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, this groundbreaking single-seat electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft breathtakingly showcases what the future of personal aviation could look like.

A New Era of Personal Aviation

The launch of the HayesX-250 comes at a pivotal moment in U.S. history as the nation celebrates its 250th anniversary. With promises of electric propulsion and advanced engineering capabilities, HayesX is steering personal aviation into uncharted waters that emphasize freedom, accessibility, and excitement. Ciaran Hayes, co-founder and CEO of HayesX, articulated this vision by saying, "SEMA celebrates the people and machines pushing mobility boundaries. The HayesX-250 brings that same spirit to personal aviation."

Designed to break barriers, the HayesX-250 aims to make flying a possibility for a broader audience. With its unique ability to take off and land vertically, users won't need a traditional runway. This impressive aircraft can be transformed for transport, folding its four arms to a compact size of approximately 4.25 feet by 9.1 feet—ideal for fitting into pick-up trucks or trailers.

Specifications and Features

Weighing in at 245 pounds (batteries included), the HayesX-250 boasts a promising top speed of 62 mph. It's built from a blend of aviation-grade aluminum and carbon-fiber components, creating a sturdy yet lightweight structure suitable for personal flight. Safety is paramount in the design, with multiple layers of protection including:

• - Eight electric motors for reliable thrust
• - Dual power and control buses that offer redundancy
• - Dual inertial measurement units for enhanced stability
• - An integrated whole-aircraft ballistic parachute system

Moreover, the cutting-edge technology extends beyond the aircraft itself. The HayesX Pilot Support App provides each owner with an interactive flight guide, digital logbook, and pre-flight checklist, ensuring a streamlined flying experience.

The HayesX-250 is designed to comply with FAA Part 103 regulations, meaning no FAA pilot certificate is required to operate it, adding to its allure for prospective buyers. However, users are still responsible for adhering to local flying restrictions and airspace regulations.

Pricing and Ordering

HayesX has opened reservations for the HayesX-250, with a starting price of $146,600. A deposit of $6,600 secures an order, and this amount can be refunded within six days—making it a low-risk opportunity for early adopters. Limited quantities are available for delivery in 2026, subject to configuration and availability.

Join the Future of Flight

For those looking to explore this cutting-edge personal aircraft, HayesX encourages attendees to visit their booth in Central Hall, Booth 24655, where they can meet the team and learn more about the aircraft. A press conference and product unveiling are also set for November 4, from 10:30 to 10:50 a.m., and will provide further insights into the capabilities and vision behind the HayesX-250.

In a world increasingly leaning towards sustainable and innovative transport solutions, the HayesX-250 stands as a powerful symbol of personal flight's potential and the exciting future of electric aviation. For more information, reservations, and updates regarding SEMA, visit www.hayesx.net.
