Reimagining urban mobility: Advanced Air Mobility, eVTOLs and the future of transport
Advanced air mobility is emerging as a potentially transformative mode of transport. Electric vehicle, take-off, and landing aircraft or eVTOLs are capturing public imagination. If pilot projects prove reliable, we stand at the beginning of a revolution in how people move within and between cities.
This episode examines the evolution of technologies, regulatory frameworks, and the infrastructure that would determine eVTOL rollout. We discuss how eVTOLs can integrate with existing transport networks, the infra required, and the urban planning choices that will shape where and how they fly.
Will eVTOLs be an urban mobility revolution that transforms city travel or a set of expensive, high-profile pilot projects that ultimately fail to take off?
