eVTOLs Coming Close to Take Off

eVTOL technology, or electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle technology, has the potential to revolutionize the commuter experience in cities all over the world. eVTOL creators and innovators are imagining an accessible transport solution that would reduce urban traffic congestion and support the flow of passengers while also cutting carbon emissions. Combining the vertical take-off style of helicopters with the horizontal flight of airplanes, eVTOL seems ideal for intercity movements and have the potential to compete with car travel as a viable means of urban transportation if the price of such a trip can rival that of a taxi or an Uber.

What to Expect from the Autonomous Aircraft Market

For many years now we’ve been hearing about the innovations and advances empowering us to move toward pilotless planes with major aviation and industrial players already pledging their support and investment. In 2020, FedEx announced that it was working with Reliable Robotics to use small autonomous aircraft to transport cargo. In the same year, Airbus debuted its autonomous aircraft software by demonstrating its Airbus A350-1000 XWB can take off and land without any human input.

A New Level of Connectivity for Business Jets

Passengers' needs are always evolving with the times, and in order to keep them satisfied, business aviation has to keep up. Millennials are accounting for increasing numbers of business jet users that will expect to use inflight broadband at the same rate as they would use WIFI while at home or in the office. And with such rapid technological advances in consumer electronics, streaming and video gaming are commonplace, and even watching ultra-high definition 8K video and virtual reality (VR) interactions are also quickly becoming the norm. These advances demand increasingly powerful inflight broadband—a new level of connectivity for business jets.
