| Popis: | Increases in congestion, pollution and population within cities pose significant transportation challenges in the coming years. Cities have responded with improvements in public infrastructure, but industry has responded with a more novel alternative. Instead of working within the confines allowed by current public transportation, businesses are investing in electric vertical take-off & landing (eVTOL) vehicles. These vehicles represent a feasible option in the coming years due to improvements in battery and motor technology. A majority of the concepts exhibit distributed electric propulsion, employing multiple motors and propellers as shown in Figure 1. |
