The electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) industry has often been heralded as the future of urban transportation. Promising solutions to traffic congestion, reduced emissions, and more efficient urban air mobility, eVTOLs present a vision of an advanced technological future. However, for all the enthusiasm, the reality is much more complex.
The British-made PHASA-351 drone, a groundbreaking innovation in unmanned aerial systems, has demonstrated impressive capabilities during recent test flights. Developed by aerospace giant BAE Systems, this high-altitude, solar-powered drone is poised to redefine intelligence gathering, potentially replacing costly spy satellites and offering a more flexible alternative for aerial surveillance.
