What is eVTOL?
Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft represent a groundbreaking advancement in aviation technology.
These innovative vehicles are designed to transport passengers and cargo in urban and regional settings, leveraging electric propulsion systems for vertical takeoff and landing. Unlike traditional aircraft, eVTOLs can operate in densely populated areas without the need for long runways, making them ideal for city transportation.
Why is it important?
The importance of eVTOLs cannot be overstated.
eVTOL technology promises to revolutionize urban mobility by reducing traffic congestion, lowering carbon emissions, and providing faster, more efficient transportation options. As cities continue to grow, the need for sustainable and efficient transportation solutions becomes more critical. eVTOLs are poised to meet this demand, offering a glimpse into the future of urban air mobility and transforming the way we move within and between cities.
Who are the major players?
There are already a few hundred companies in the eVTOL space. While they vary greatly in terms of purpose and approach, they are all bringing unique innovations to this rapidly-evolving field.
​
Here are a couple of the major players and what they're working on right now.
