Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) Aircraft Market - Global Industry

Posted by surendra choudhary on June 4th, 2019

Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) is an electric or hybrid aircraft that can hover, take off, and land vertically.  In mid-2018, Embraer S.A. made public its first eVTOL aircraft concept at the Uber Elevate conference held at Los Angeles. The company’s concept aircraft uses 8 rotors to deliver vertical lift, until the moment, the aircraft shifts to horizontal flight when pusher propeller offers forward momentum and lift is upheld by a short wing. The company strategizes to serve passengers in an urban market as part of Uber’s envisioned aerial taxi network. In addition, several traditional companies and start-ups have collectively attracted more than US$ 1 billion of investments for eVTOL. As a result, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) states that eVTOL stands at the cusp of major advances.

Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) Aircraft Market – Competitive Landscape

  • In May 2019, Airbus Group Inc., a key player in eVTOL aircraft market, announced a huge performance improvement to its single-aisle aircraft – the A220 family. According to the company, the range is increased up to 450nm which will open new route possibilities for airlines around the world, and will be offering increased range that starts from H2 2020.
  • In December 2018, LIFT Aircraft revealed its new eVTOL Aircraft called Hexa Electric that will help people take recreational flights. It is personal multirotor, 432lb semi-autonomous aircraft that looks similar to a large drone, and is equipped with 18 sets of propellers, motors, and batteries.
