From flight to insight in no-time, how Vertical Aerospace accelerates test cycles with Marple.
Vertical Aerospace integrated Marple into their data workflow. As soon as the aircraft lands, flight data is parsed, processed, and automatically made available in Marple. Engineers use self-made preconfigured dashboards to analyse signals immediately and compare them to simulation data.

About Vertical Aerospace
Vertical Aerospace is a global aerospace and technology company pioneering electric aviation. Vertical is creating a safer, cleaner and quieter way to travel. Their VX4 is a piloted, four passenger, Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, with zero operating emissions. Vertical will also be launching a hybrid-electric variant, offering increased range and mission flexibility to meet the evolving needs of the advanced air mobility market.
The Challenge
Each test flight generates large volumes of high-frequency telemetry data. That data, coming from aircraft, simulators, and test rigs, needs to be analysed, validated, and shared across teams as quickly as possible to make critical decisions which allow the programme to learn and progress.
The Solution
Vertical Aerospace integrated Marple into their data workflow. As soon as the aircraft lands, flight data is parsed, processed, and automatically made available in Marple. Engineers use self-made preconfigured dashboards to analyse signals immediately and compare them to simulation data.
“Deploying Marple into our infrastructure was a smooth and seamless process. The team has been incredibly responsive and collaborative in shaping the solution with us.”
- Gregor Hannappel, Senior Data Engineer
“We use Marple dashboards right after the flight. Everyone sees the data and can take action fast — it keeps the test program moving.”
- Stephen Hardiman, Flight Test Engineer
The Result
✔ Faster turnaround between flights thanks to instant access to key signals
✔ Better collaboration through shareable dashboards and visualizations
✔ Validation of models by comparing real and simulated flight data
✔ Responsive support and rapid feature delivery from the Marple team
“Marple is quick, intuitive, and works across the entire engineering team. It's especially powerful for tracking flight performance and creating a common data visualisation between teams.”
- Stephen Hardiman, Flight Test Engineer
