Aero G Aviation filed a U.S. patent application on August 20, 2020.
Aero G Aviation is developing both their UV-4 unmanned eVTOL cargo aircraft and aG-4 Liberty passenger eVTOL aircraft, which began as a research project at Bergen Community College in New Jersey. The design for this shows either hybrid- or all-electric power driving tilting ducted fans. In 2019, the company applied for a patent covering its proposed propulsion system.
As of February 2020, both aircraft are still in the early stages of design work. Aero G Aviation's CEO Joseph Mattern told FutureFlight that the company is open to offers from larger companies to acquire its technology.
In August 2020, the company filed a patent application for its design and technology.

Our objective assessment of this program’s probable success.
FutureFlight assesses the probability of success for a new aircraft program by considering the following criteria:
Aero G Aviation is a small, privately-owned company that has been working on eVTOL designs since 2015 when the founder Robert Gomez was at Bergen Community College in New Jersey.
In February 2020, a newly appointed CEO launched efforts to seek investors to support the program or purchase the company's intellectual property for $5 million. Aero G has several patents pending for its designs. In August 2020, the company filed a patent application covering the design and technology for its planned aircraft. Without funding, there seems to be little prospect of taking the aircraft to market.
The UV-4 is an unmanned cargo-carrying eVTOL aircraft. It is being developed with either electric or hybrid-electric power for four electric motors, and with ducted fans for vertical lift and propellers for the cruise phase of flight. It will feature a ballistic parachute.
