CleanTechnica Special: Verdego Aero Eric Bartsch On Hybrid Electric Plane Design
I recently caught up with Eric Bartsch from VerdeGo Aero to talk about the differences between electric vertical takeoff & landing (eVTOL) aircraft and electric conventional takeoff and landing (eCTOL) aircraft. If you recall, we previously announced that VerdeGo stopped the development of its eVTOL aircraft to focus instead on designing powertrains for other eVTOL and eCTOL aircraft makers, a valuable way to enable more urban air mobility (UAM).
Lilium Flirts With Biomimicry, Wins Red Dot Award
One benefit of the new wave of electric vertical take-off & landing (eVTOL) and electric conventional takeoff and landing (eCTOL) airplanes is the freedom the electric propulsion system gives designers. Airbus has a “Bird of Prey” concept that will please most Star Trek fans, and now a flying Manta Ray could grace our skies in a few years.
After The Hoversurf Bike Comes The eVTOL Hoversurf Formula
As cool as the Hoversurf Hoverbike is, the company is now working on another electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air vehicle, the Hoversurf Formula. There are bigger ambitions for the latter.
H55, Solar Impulse Spinoff, Introduces Electric 2-Seat Airplane
A spinoff from Solar Impulse, a company going by the short name of H55, has successfully flown its maiden flight in a new electric two-seat airplane. Using an electric propulsion system manufactured by BRM Aero, the Bristell Energic airplane is perfect for pilot training and flight schools. It’s exciting to see the Solar Impulse foundational work now leading to a commercially available electric aircraft, and potentially soon an air taxi.
Bosch Steps Into the Electric Air Taxi Industry To Help Cars Fly
With 1 billion flights predicted for air taxis by 2030, Bosch is getting into the electric vertical take-off & landing (eVTOL) business with a sensor box for autonomy.
Lilium Reveals Long-Awaited New Air Taxi & Celebrates Maiden Flight In The Same Swoop
Lilium Jet is still aiming to be the world’s first all-electric jet-powered 5-seat air taxi or electric vertical take-off & landing (eVTOL) vehicle.
