AXELERA Technologies Advances Aviation Strategic Alliances at CES 2026, Showcasing the 3D_4X (3D-4X) Joystick for Next-Generation Air Mobility

AXELERA Technologies announced today that it participated in CES 2026 in Las Vegas, strengthening existing relationships and establishing new strategic alliances across aviation technology, advanced mobility, and next-generation flight interfaces. CES is widely recognized as a global platform where technology leaders meet, do business, and accelerate collaboration.

CES 2026 took place January 6–9 and convened the broader technology ecosystem—an environment that increasingly includes aviation-adjacent innovation such as advanced mobility. With CES reporting 148K+ attendees and 4100+ exhibitors, AXELERA used the week to align with collaborators and stakeholders focused on building safer, more intuitive, and more scalable control systems for emerging aircraft categories.

“CES continues to be a high-value environment for relationship-building at the intersection of mobility and technology,” said Alex Lopez, President of AXELERA Technologies. “Our conversations this week reinforced that advanced air mobility will depend not only on airframes and power systems, but also on cockpit and human-machine interface solutions that are intuitive, responsive, and integration-ready.”

Designed for Next-Generation Aerial Mobility

At the center of AXELERA’s CES 2026 discussions was the 3D-4X Joystick, a multi-axis controller designed to deliver complete, intuitive control for modern aerial mobility applications—especially where precision and workload reduction matter most. With a single-handed control concept, the 3D-4X Joystick is built to support future-facing mobility use cases where pilots and operators require fast, confident input in high-pressure conditions.

Key design advantages include:

  • Precision Control: Seamless, omnidirectional input for tight, complex maneuvers.

  • Ease of Use: Single-handed operation that reduces workload and supports faster response.

  • Adaptive Interface: A versatile control concept intended to support integration across multiple aircraft configurations, including passenger and cargo mobility platforms.

CES Reinforced Momentum for Advanced Mobility

CES 2026 programming highlighted vehicle tech and advanced mobility, reflecting the accelerating convergence between consumer technology, robotics, software, sensors, and the future of mobility systems. In parallel, advanced air mobility innovators continue using CES as a visibility and commercialization venue—illustrated by industry activity such as YIVTOL’s public note that it planned to exhibit at CES 2026 and conduct an on-site delivery to a U.S. customer.

Strategic Meetings and a New Agreement

During CES 2026, AXELERA held targeted meetings and strategic site visits with organizations exploring next-generation aviation technologies. As a result of these engagements, President Alex Lopez reached a strategy alliance agreement in principle to advance collaborative evaluation work around next-step integration pathways for the 3D-4X Joystick in advanced air mobility contexts. The parties will finalize scope, testing milestones, and technical documentation in the coming weeks.

The Road Ahead

Building on CES 2026 momentum, AXELERA Technologies plans to continue structured engagement with select allies to validate performance expectations and streamline integration planning. This next phase will emphasize:

  • Control precision validation under demanding maneuver profiles,
  • operator usability feedback to support human-centered design improvements, and
  • integration planning to accelerate compatibility with a range of mobility platforms.
