eVTOL aircraft use electric propulsion for vertical take-off and landing, enabling efficient, low-noise urban air mobility. Applications include passenger transport, cargo delivery, and emergency services. Benefits include reduced traffic congestion, lower emissions, and shorter travel times. Companies like Joby Aviation, Lilium, Archer, and Vertical Aerospace are leading commercialization efforts, with patents focusing on propulsion, battery efficiency, and safety systems. Regulatory bodies are developing certification frameworks to ensure safe deployment.
