electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles
Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles are innovative aircraft designed to take off and land vertically, similar to helicopters. They use electric propulsion systems, which make them quieter and more environmentally friendly than traditional aircraft. eVTOLs are being developed for various applications, including urban air mobility, air taxis, and cargo transport.
These vehicles 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 revolutionize transportation in congested cities and reduce travel times significantly.
