The dream of personal flying vehicles has captivated human imagination for decades. As we approach the mid-2020s, this vision is increasingly becoming a tangible reality, with numerous companies worldwide developing various forms of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, commonly known as “flying cars.” However, the critical question remains: how close are these manufacturers to meeting the rigorous safety standards necessary for public acceptance and widespread adoption?
When it comes to eVTOL (electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing) aircraft, safety and reliability are not just features—they’re imperatives. Manufacturers need to ensure that these aerial vehicles meet stringent aviation standards set by authorities like the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency).
