Design of an Augmented Reality Interface for Ultralight eVTOL Aircraft

Mostavio is a Toronto-based aerospace company developing ultralight electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft designed for safe, efficient, and sustainable personal air travel. The company focuses on lightweight structures, automation, and human-centered design to make advanced air mobility more accessible. This project explores the use of augmented reality (AR) to improve how pilots and operators interact with eVTOL systems. The intern will evaluate various AR headsets and build a prototype interface that displays key flight data—such as altitude, speed, battery status, and GPS position—directly in the pilot’s field of view. The goal is to create a lightweight, easy-to-read AR display that enhances situational awareness and reduces the need for conventional cockpit instruments. For Mostavio, the research will provide valuable insights into integrating AR technology into future eVTOL models. The project will help demonstrate how immersive visualization can improve safety, comfort, and user experience in next-generation electric aviation.
