The integration of eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft) and drones into logistics and transport is poised to dramatically alter these industries. With eVTOLs, companies can facilitate efficient last-mile delivery, which refers to the movement of goods from a transportation hub to their final destination, often a consumer’s home. This phase is crucial for ensuring customer satisfaction and loyalty, and eVTOLs offer a novel solution by significantly reducing delivery times and operational costs.
