In the past few years, leading aerospace companies and startups alike have broken new ground in the design of electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTOLs), which offer significantly greater efficiency and flexibility than traditional point-to-point options, such as helicopters.
To date, almost every major technological hurdle required to make this vision a reality has been overcome – and perhaps most importantly, it is on track to be achieved at a competitive price-point.
The forecasted flying vehicle entrance to our mobility system in big scale will revolutionize our cities, buildins and infrastructures as well as our lifestyle , especially if new technology would be pilotless.
Vertiport for its operations, may change our buildings as well as the need to recharge and power the new vehicles. Rule and regulations must be establish fora safe utilization of the new technology.
