eVTOL, or electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, are a class of air vehicles powered by electric propulsion systems that can lift off, hover, and land vertically. Designed for short-distance travel, they are a key innovation in urban air mobility, offering potential reductions in noise, emissions, and congestion compared to traditional aircraft. eVTOL technology is being developed by aerospace companies and startups worldwide, with applications ranging from passenger transport to cargo delivery.
