Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL)
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 alleviate traffic congestion. eVTOLs are often envisioned for use in air taxis, emergency services, and cargo delivery.
The technology behind eVTOLs includes advanced electric propulsion systems and lightweight materials, which enhance efficiency and reduce noise. Companies and organizations are actively developing eVTOL prototypes, with the goal of integrating them into existing transportation networks, such as urban air mobility systems.
