Urban transport is undergoing a rapid, almost exponential transformation: a modern, electric air taxi transports passengers quickly and unhindered over traffic jams, landing at an urban rooftop terminal within minutes. This vision is moving ever closer to becoming a reality. Companies such as Joby Aviation and Volocopter are already actively testing their electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, which could fundamentally reshape urban mobility.
