Valo is fully electric and has zero-emissions. Early commercial routes are expected to include airport-to-city centre connections.
It comes after Claudia and Tess Daly spoke about their imminent exit from Strictly when they appeared on It Takes Two on Tuesday.
Asked by Fleur East if the reality of their departure has sunk in, Tess replied: 'The short answer is no.
'I genuinely haven't had time to think about it, because we've been so into this series, so absorbed by it – it's such a brilliant series that all of our focus is on that, really.
'So I think it'd be a bit of a shock on the 20th. I might get emotional.'
Claudia added: 'I think we will be emotional, but of course, it won't be about us. It'll be about the winners.'
'So we're not allowed to cry,' Tess said.
Tess presented the series since it first launched in 2004 alongside the late Sir Bruce Forsyth, while Claudia fronted its weekday companion show, It Takes Two.

Claudia eventually moved on to host the Sunday night results show alongside Daly and joined the main show every Saturday from 2014, after Sir Bruce stepped down.
The pair picked up the entertainment programme gong at the BAFTA TV Awards in 2024 and were made Members of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the King's Birthday Honours for their services to broadcasting.

During Sunday night's results show, the judges decided to save West End star Amber Davies and her dance partner Nikita Kuzmin after they found themselves in the bottom two alongside former Emmerdale star Lewis Cope and professional dancer Katya Jones.
Amber joins EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal, internet star George Clarke and former Lioness and sports broadcaster Karen Carney as semi-finalists.
The couples will perform during next weekend's semi-final, airing on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 6.35pm on Saturday, with the results show at 7.45pm on Sunday.
Each couple will perform two new routines and there will be performances from Australian singer Kylie Minogue and boyband Five.
