The Vertical Aerospace eVTOL Aircraft has been shown off by the company as a futuristic transportation solution that shows distinct promise for what we could see in the skies around our large cities in the near future.
The aircraft is capable of taking off vertically (hence the name), which eliminates the need for runways or extensive outdoor areas in order to take off and land. This could help to bring a new level of mobility for urban or rural consumers that need to get around in a quick manner without having to deal with traditional roadways or planes.
The Vertical Aerospace eVTOL Aircraft has been tested by the company as part of an unmanned test flight and is at the center of a plan to bring about an intercity air taxi service that could be operational by 2022.
