Last week, the Federal Aviation Administration released long-awaited rules for eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircrafts - the first entirely new category in air travel in the 80 years since helicopters. These rules clear the way for air taxi operations - the ecosystem for which has been brewing strong for more than a decade. eVTOL players have garnered significant investments and billion-dollar order books, even as regulations were still-evolving (and remain so in many categories like unmanned systems) - and air taxi operations are ready to launch as early as 2025 in some markets. Notable players and market activity: 🗺 Transportation industry leaders acquiring stakes in eVTOL makers (Wisk- Boeing and Joby Aviation-Toyota Motor Corporation) 🛬 Airlines and aviation services partnering for deployment and operations (United Airlines and Southwest Airlines - Archer, Airservices Australia - Wisk, FlyBIS Air Mobility-Eve Air Mobility) 🏛 Governments awarding contracts for aircrafts purchase, infrastructure development and service launch (United States Air Force - Archer, Sugar Land TX - Wisk, Abu Dhabi and Dubai - Joby Aviation) Is it time to fasten the seat belts? Which segments of transportation do you think will see the greatest adoption and impact - Aeromedical, private travel, airport shuttles, or any others? #eVTOL #AirTaxi #FutureOfTransportation #ElectricAviation #UrbanAirMobility #AirTravelRevolution #InvestmentInAviation #AerospaceInnovation #SustainableAviation #TransportationInnovation #FutureOfMobility
