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?
