eVTOL

eVTOL stands for "electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing." It refers to a type of aircraft that is designed to take off and land vertically using electric power. eVTOL vehicles are typically used for urban air mobility, allowing them to operate in congested urban environments where traditional runways are not feasible. These aircraft can have various configurations, including multi-rotor designs, tilt-rotor systems, or hybrid models that combine electric and conventional propulsion. The use of electric power offers the potential for reduced emissions and noise compared to traditional fossil fuel-powered aircraft. eVTOL technology is being explored for applications such as air taxis, cargo transport, and emergency services, with advancements in automation and autonomy also being significant aspects of their development.
