Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing
Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) refers to a type of aircraft that can take off, hover, and land vertically using electric power. These vehicles are designed to operate in urban environments, providing a new mode of transportation that can reduce traffic congestion and travel time. eVTOLs typically use multiple rotors or fans for lift, making them quieter and more environmentally friendly than traditional helicopters.
The development of eVTOL technology is driven by advancements in battery efficiency and electric propulsion systems. Companies and startups are actively working on prototypes, aiming to create a safe and reliable means of air travel for passengers and cargo. As regulations evolve, eVTOLs may soon become a common sight in cities around the world.
