electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft
Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft are innovative flying vehicles designed to take off and land vertically, similar to helicopters. They use electric propulsion systems, which make them quieter and more environmentally friendly compared to traditional aircraft. eVTOLs are being developed for various applications, including urban air mobility, cargo transport, and emergency services.
These aircraft typically feature multiple rotors or fans that provide lift and control during flight. Companies like Joby Aviation and Volocopter are leading the way in eVTOL technology, aiming to create efficient and safe transportation solutions for congested urban areas.
