Although the aerospace industry has already created working eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) vehicles that resemble the traditional saucer in shape, there is still room for innovation to expand and enrich this category of vehicles. The potential for innovation is far from being fully realised and the challenges facing designers, such as increasing range, improving energy efficiency and enhancing passenger safety, will continue to encourage engineers and developers to develop new solutions.
