Eviation Aircraft, the world’s first all-electric aircraft manufacturer, has announced a pioneering partnership with UrbanLink Air Mobility, a transport company based in South Florida. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the aviation industry, as the first fleet of Alice electric aircraft will be deployed to launch local, electric air services in Florida.
Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft represent a transformative advance in urban mobility, promising to decongest ground traffic and reduce urban transit times. However, the widespread adoption and operational efficiency of eVTOLs hinge significantly on advancements in battery technology. Solid-state batteries (SSBs) emerge as a pivotal innovation in this regard, potentially extending the range and enhancing the safety of eVTOLs.
