The development of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft represents a significant advancement in aviation technology, offering a promise of revolutionizing urban transport. The Air Force’s Agility Prime initiative, launched in April 2020, underlines the military’s interest in nurturing this nascent sector. Agility Prime seeks to accelerate the commercial market for advanced air mobility vehicles while enhancing military capabilities.
The 2024 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) marked a pivotal moment in aviation technology, particularly in the realm of eVTOLs (Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing vehicles). A discernible shift from theoretical designs to practical, near-term implementations was evident, signaling a transformative phase in urban air mobility.
