Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) in Aerospace and Defense - Thematic Intelligence
Description
Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) in Aerospace and Defense - Thematic Intelligence
Summary
Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft are a variety of aircraft types that utilize electric power to hover, fly, take off, and land vertically. Driven primarily by a growing demand for urban air mobility or ‘air taxis’ to proliferate short-range air travel in congested cities, this technology has seen growing interest since the United States’ National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) published the ‘Puffin Papers’ in 2009 and 2010. This concept design demonstrated the ability to fly a single-person craft with a Lithium-iron-phosphate battery, and since then there has been a wave of start-ups seeking venture financing, investment from transport companies such as Uber and United Airlines, and established names in the aerospace world launching their own projects or collaborating with smaller firms.
